STRAY BIRDS

242

This life is the crossing of a sea, where we meet in the same narrow ship.
In death we reach the shore and go to our different worlds.

The stream of truth flows through its channels of mistakes.

244

My heart is homesick to-day for the one sweet hour across the sea of time.

245

The bird-song is the echo of the morning light back from the earth.
