00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:06.400 align:middle line:90%
Let's see.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.780 align:middle line:84%
I was going to read
"Simplicity" by Moses Jumper.

00:00:10.780 --> 00:00:12.440 align:middle line:90%
It's one of my favorite--

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:15.520 align:middle line:84%
It's one of my favorite
poems, I might read it again,

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:17.440 align:middle line:90%
but let's see.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.370 align:middle line:84%
I love that poem
because it's about one

00:00:21.370 --> 00:00:24.820 align:middle line:84%
of my favorite places,
the Everglades.

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:26.650 align:middle line:90%
I love the way in that poem--

00:00:26.650 --> 00:00:29.180 align:middle line:84%
I'll just say this, I probably
don't have to read it again.

00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:32.200 align:middle line:84%
But I love the way that
there is an equal weight

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.830 align:middle line:90%
to every creature.

00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:38.070 align:middle line:84%
There's the little jumpy
toad, and the frog,

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:43.650 align:middle line:84%
and the different
animals that everyone

00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:48.590 align:middle line:84%
is part of that
simplicity, or that place.

00:00:48.590 --> 00:00:50.480 align:middle line:84%
Where you go out
into the Everglades,

00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:53.540 align:middle line:84%
and you stop out
there, and there you

00:00:53.540 --> 00:00:59.990 align:middle line:84%
are in that world of everybody,
and it's so beautiful.

00:00:59.990 --> 00:01:03.410 align:middle line:84%
And so, I love to
be reminded of it.

00:01:03.410 --> 00:01:06.492 align:middle line:84%
Let's see, that's probably
why it's one of my favorite--

00:01:06.492 --> 00:01:08.450 align:middle line:84%
it's one of my favorite
poems in the anthology,

00:01:08.450 --> 00:01:12.440 align:middle line:84%
because I can go to that poem,
and by reading that poem,

00:01:12.440 --> 00:01:15.850 align:middle line:90%
I am in the Everglades.

00:01:15.850 --> 00:01:19.750 align:middle line:84%
And I go there any chance I
can get, is to go out there

00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:26.640 align:middle line:84%
and listen and be there
with the rest of the family.
