A young bird found out an
Old bird and said, excitedly,
“Old bird, did you realize that the
Sky we sail is not empty but
Full? Did you know that the
Sea below us could not be
Without the sky, and that I
Belong to all of it, and even
If I die will not be lost
But returned to life itself?
Did you, too, as a young
Bird watch the tide and
Realize that all is motion,
Even stillness, even sleep,
That rise and fall is all it
Is, and that this means
That all is freedom? Did
You fly to the sun and,
Knowing you were going
Blind, rejoice, for it was all
One?”
And the old bird replied,
“Yes; now do not speak of it.”
