:13:00
And occasionally...
:13:03
amongst our most
immediate needs...

:13:08
each of you should take the
time to sit on a bench...

:13:13
with one foot set squarely
on the ground...

:13:19
then, leaning over...
:13:23
rest an elbow on one knee...
:13:26
then approach the chin...
:13:29
rest the head
on the back of our hand...

:13:33
and with gentle eyes,
watch the movement of the sun...

:13:39
and the rains...
:13:41
and the winds...
:13:43
with these same gentle eyes...
:13:46
watch time's mysterious
manipulation...

:13:50
of the other tools
it skillfully wields...

:13:54
in its transformations...
:13:57
never once questioning
its unfathomable...

:14:00
meandering designs...
:14:04
just as you never
question the pure flat plains...

:14:09
or the winding trails drawn by
the herds on the pasture.

:14:15
Because the cows...
:14:18
always go to the trough.
:14:22
The cows always
go to the watering pit.

:14:33
Patience is the virtue
of all virtues.

:14:39
He who despairs is not wise...
:14:43
he who does not submit
is foolish.
