“Paul the Little” was chasing the bird then the bird blessed him and they lived in peace from then until the ages of the ages, Amen.
"Paul the Little," 29.7 x 42 cm, Windsor and Newton ink on Canson Kraft paper, 2018

A portion of this scripture is written on the papyrus: 

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 New International Version (NIV)
26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[a]

 Α’ Προς Κορινθιους Α’ 26 Παρατηρήσατε, ἀδελφοί, ποιοί εἶσθε σεῖς ποὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἐκάλεσε. Δὲν ὑπάρχουν μεταξύ σας πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατ’ ἄνθρωπον, οὔτε πολλοὶ δυνατοί, οὔτε πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς τὴν καταγωγήν,
27 ἀλλὰ ἐκείνους ποὺ ὁ κόσμος θεωρεῖ μωροὺς ἐδιάλεξε ὁ Θεὸς διὰ νὰ καταισχύνῃ τοὺς σοφούς,, καὶ τοὺς ἀδύνατους κατὰ κόσμον ἐδιάλεξε ὁ Θεός, διὰ νὰ καταισχύνῃ τοὺς δυνατούς,
28 καὶ ἀνθρώπους ποὺ ἔχουν ταπεινὴν καταγωγὴν κατὰ κόσμον καὶ τοὺς περιφρονεμένους ἐδιάλεξε ὁ Θεὸς, ἀκόμη καὶ πράγματα ποὺ δὲν ὑπάρχουν διὰ νὰ καταργήσῃ ἐκεῖνα ποὺ ὑπάρχουν·
