STRAY BIRDS

54

Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near. The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.

My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.

57

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
