Faith Is the Bird

Pictures by Pieter Withoos·Words by Rabindranath Tagore

Pieter Withoos's late 17th-century watercolour of a great tit on a bare twig sits beside Rabindranath Tagore's line from Fireflies: faith is the bird that feels the light and sings while the dawn is still dark. It is a quiet reminder that better days are coming, even before they can be seen. For someone going through a hard stretch.
