00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:05.370 align:middle line:90%
So I'll just begin reading.

00:00:05.370 --> 00:00:07.140 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to begin
with the poem that

00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:11.070 align:middle line:84%
appears in "A Radiant Curve,"
the first poem in the book.

00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.700 align:middle line:90%
"The beginning was mist.

00:00:16.700 --> 00:00:21.510 align:middle line:84%
The first holy ones
taught and sang as always.

00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:25.110 align:middle line:84%
They created light,
night, and day.

00:00:25.110 --> 00:00:30.120 align:middle line:84%
They sang into place the
mountains, the rivers, plants,

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.800 align:middle line:90%
and animals.

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.300 align:middle line:90%
They sang us into life."
