00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.260 align:middle line:90%
Last one.

00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.900 align:middle line:90%


00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.870 align:middle line:84%
"Three Times My
Life has Opened."

00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:09.850 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.850 --> 00:00:14.200 align:middle line:84%
Three times in my
life has opened:

00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:19.320 align:middle line:90%
once into darkness and rain.

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.630 align:middle line:84%
Once into what the body
carries at all times within it

00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:32.220 align:middle line:84%
and starts to remember each
time it enters the act of love.

00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:37.440 align:middle line:90%
Once to the fire that holds all.

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:40.466 align:middle line:90%
These three were not different.

00:00:40.466 --> 00:00:46.040 align:middle line:84%
You will recognize what I
am saying, or you will not.

00:00:46.040 --> 00:00:50.060 align:middle line:84%
But outside my window
all day a maple

00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:55.340 align:middle line:84%
has stepped from her leaves like
a woman in love with winter,

00:00:55.340 --> 00:00:59.840 align:middle line:90%
dropping the colored silks.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.470 align:middle line:84%
Neither are we different
in what we know.

00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:06.700 align:middle line:90%
There is a door.

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:11.730 align:middle line:90%
It opens, then it is closed.

00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:17.990 align:middle line:84%
But a slip of light stays like
a scrap of unreadable paper left

00:01:17.990 --> 00:01:25.130 align:middle line:84%
on the floor, or the one red
leaf the snow releases in March.

00:01:25.130 --> 00:01:28.412 align:middle line:90%


00:01:28.412 --> 00:01:29.800 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:31.650 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:45.000 align:middle line:90%
