turtle on thoughts.
[01:26.65]It takes many of us altogether too long to learn
[01:31.46]that you cannot find satisfaction so long as you leave the soul out
of your reckoning.
[01:47.76]The prime, the elemental necessities of our being are for the life
[01:55.20]its house. But, alas, how often out of the marble edifice issues the
[02:04.39]how out of the life having many things comes that which amounts
to nothing.
[02:11.18]The essential things are not often those which most readily strike
our blunt senses.
[02:25.84]But looking deeper into life there comes an awakening to the fact
[02:34.81]the feeling that the reason, the emotions, the joys and pains
[02:41.48]that have nothing to do with things, the ties that knit one to the
infinite,
[00:06.35]I was up before the sunrise one October morning, and away
through the wild and the woodland.
[00:14.22]The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it;
[00:30.96]Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped and crept to the hollow
places,
[01:13.08]and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a
father.
[01:19.43]Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear itself,
[01:28.84]casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose,
[01:40.33]yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness,
here!"
[01:52.26]Then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow;
[01:58.16]every flower and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them,
[02:04.17]and all the flashing of God's gaze merged into soft beneficence.
[02:10.52]So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag
[02:29.56]but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father's
countenance,
[00:15.09]In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the
confidence of owls.
[00:27.13]For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too
freely.
[00:35.40]From this hill I have watched many moons rise.
[00:51.81]lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-
black sky
[01:04.94]Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.
[01:11.83]But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon.
[01:18.31]The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night
sky.
[01:24.10]Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar.
[01:29.25]Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.
[01:37.35]If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over
the horizon,
[01:48.72]And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.
[01:53.98]I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains.
[01:59.11]My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone.
[02:05.02]The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the
[02:20.79]Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen
[02:27.47]by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out
of the woods.
[02:33.27]Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-
[02:45.74]as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.
[02:50.78]But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and
authority.
[02:57.12]Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive
yellow.
[03:04.45]It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose,
[03:26.11]The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped
barking.
[03:45.59]To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.
[04:06.70]the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own
existence.
[04:20.71]Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its
light.
[04:28.26]In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our
feelings.
[00:06.68]Human thought is not a firework, ever shooting off fresh forms and
shapes as it burns;
[00:14.77]it is a tree, growing very slowly—you can watch it long and see no
movement
[00:26.59]It was planted in the world many thousand years ago, a tiny, sickly
plant.
[00:33.37]And men guarded it and tended it, and gave up life and fame to
and knocked,
[00:57.33]and play the man with bow and spear, and win sweet smiles from
rosy lips,
[01:03.46]and take their part amid the feast, and dance, not stoop with
[01:12.21]And the passers by mocked them and called shame, and others
[01:20.09]And still they stayed there laboring, that the tree might grow a
little,
[01:26.66]and they died and were forgotten.
[01:42.41]but men leaped into the flames and beat them back, perishing,
[01:48.97]With the sweat of their brow men have nourished its green leaves.
[02:01.56]The seasons have come and passed, and the tree has grown and
flourished.
[02:07.15]And its branches have spread far and high, and ever fresh shoots
[02:18.09]But they are all part of the one tree—the tree that was planted on
