patience, my friend, patience,
i say this and these things not to speak to you as a teacher, we are all teachers and all students, i say this to you so that you will know who i am, so that you will know who i am in the thoughts that i live,
this planet is alive, it is an alive and living being, it is speaking,
these mountains are alive, these mountains are alive and speaking, they are speaking very slowly, each syllable in each word takes over a year, it takes almost ten years to hear one single word, this is the patience of the mountains, this is the patience of the land and the earth,
but if we could hear but one word, one word for them is like a life of words for us, for human kind, each of their words embodies the breath of eternity, and if we could but only listen to one of them, we might be able to touch the stars with our minds and begin the next step in our journey home,
patience, my friend, patience,
