do if you have no house.

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:09.180 align:middle line:90%
Wear several hats.

00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:90%
Maybe three, four.

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:17.580 align:middle line:84%
In the event of rain or snow,
remove the one that gets wet.

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:22.050 align:middle line:84%
Secondly, to be a householder
is a matter of rituals.

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:25.410 align:middle line:84%
Rituals function chiefly
to differentiate horizontal

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:27.000 align:middle line:90%
from vertical.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.750 align:middle line:84%
To begin the day in
your house is to get up.

00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:33.720 align:middle line:90%
At night, you will lie down.

00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:36.360 align:middle line:84%
When old Tio Pedro
comes over for tea,

00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.940 align:middle line:84%
you will speak up,
for these days,

00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:42.060 align:middle line:90%
his hearing is on the decline.

00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.800 align:middle line:84%
If his wife is
with him, you will

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:47.880 align:middle line:84%
be sure to have cleaned up the
kitchen and parlor so as not

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.000 align:middle line:90%
to fall in her opinion.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.400 align:middle line:84%
Watching the two of
them as they sit side

00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:56.490 align:middle line:84%
by side on the couch
smoking one cigarette,

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:59.760 align:middle line:90%
you may feel your heart lift.

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:01.920 align:middle line:84%
These patterns of
up and down can

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.450 align:middle line:84%
be imitated outside the house in
vertical and horizontal designs

00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.460 align:middle line:90%
upon the clothing.

00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:10.890 align:middle line:90%
The lines are not hard to make.

00:01:10.890 --> 00:01:15.660 align:middle line:84%
Hats do not need to be so
decorated for they will pile up

00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.240 align:middle line:84%
on your head in
and of themselves

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:24.200 align:middle line:84%
qua hats, if you have understood
my original instruction."
