00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:04.800 align:middle line:84%
Now the applause is for saying
the inevitable increasingly

00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:07.920 align:middle line:84%
querulous birdsong of the
inevitable increasingly

00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:09.285 align:middle line:90%
wide stun of oh God.

00:00:09.285 --> 00:00:13.560 align:middle line:90%


00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:14.430 align:middle line:90%
Three short poems.

00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:21.050 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.050 --> 00:00:23.810 align:middle line:84%
This little poem titled
April, two or three people

00:00:23.810 --> 00:00:24.680 align:middle line:90%
asked me to read it.

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:27.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:30.560 align:middle line:84%
I guess what they like about
it is it's music because it's

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:36.125 align:middle line:84%
a relatively simple poem that
I don't understand quite.

00:00:36.125 --> 00:00:38.490 align:middle line:84%
It says Lord at the
beginning of it yearly.

00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:39.990 align:middle line:84%
I don't have any
religious feelings,

00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:41.870 align:middle line:84%
but I do know the
secret name of God.

00:00:41.870 --> 00:00:45.170 align:middle line:84%
Only Julie Wilson and I
know the secret name of God.

00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:48.500 align:middle line:84%
We were told this when my
son was 3 and 1/2 years old,

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:50.587 align:middle line:84%
and we took him for a
ride out into the desert

00:00:50.587 --> 00:00:52.670 align:middle line:84%
with a friend of his who
was about three years old

00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:53.750 align:middle line:90%
named Isaac.

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:59.780 align:middle line:84%
And Isaac started talking
about God being all around us.

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:05.855 align:middle line:84%
And we said to him something
like if God is all around us,

00:01:05.855 --> 00:01:06.980 align:middle line:90%
does that mean he's nature?

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:08.390 align:middle line:90%
And he said no, God is Harris.

00:01:08.390 --> 00:01:15.470 align:middle line:90%


00:01:15.470 --> 00:01:16.640 align:middle line:90%
Harris you're.

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.810 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.810 --> 00:01:22.520 align:middle line:90%
April.

00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:26.480 align:middle line:84%
Lord yearly, I have not learned
but meet that early spring

00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.520 align:middle line:90%
emptied again of heart.

00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:30.500 align:middle line:84%
I have bargained
my love, for love

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.310 align:middle line:84%
of what that first cold
April day foretold.

00:01:34.310 --> 00:01:37.040 align:middle line:84%
In your arms is
the exquisite pain.

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.920 align:middle line:84%
It is your forehead
leans, not mine.

00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.160 align:middle line:84%
And if I yearn, that
is not anything.

00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:46.760 align:middle line:84%
For I have sent my loves
away and taken to my loin

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.500 align:middle line:84%
your first cold
green and naked day.

00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:51.000 align:middle line:90%
