A pelagornis perched on a stone reflects on its existence. Who better than a dying pelagornis can look back on his past life to reflect on what is left of it, to consider the reasons for celebrating both, and yet to be “happy to know that all will be well? ”

What do I think of human beauty? What beauty will save the world?
There is only one example of beauty on earth and that is Jesus Christ. The manifestation of this figure is of immeasurable beauty and certainly a miracle.
For St. John, beauty goes in this direction: the only beauty consists in the incarnation. This is the manifestation of Beauty. Beauty, understood as spiritual beauty, will save the world in the sense of privileging life.
