00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:02.830 align:middle line:90%
The Gods Are Not Large.

00:00:02.830 --> 00:00:06.580 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:12.310 align:middle line:84%
But perhaps, the heart does
not want to be understood.

00:00:12.310 --> 00:00:18.700 align:middle line:84%
Your shadow falls on its pond,
and the small fish hurry away.

00:00:18.700 --> 00:00:24.910 align:middle line:84%
They have their own lives,
not yours, which they love.

00:00:24.910 --> 00:00:30.180 align:middle line:84%
And if to you it is anger,
bewilderment, grief--

00:00:30.180 --> 00:00:34.410 align:middle line:90%
to them, it is simply life.

00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:37.200 align:middle line:90%
Their mouths open and close.

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:42.420 align:middle line:84%
Their gills-- they
are fed, they breathe.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.660 align:middle line:84%
The gods are not
large, outside us.

00:00:46.660 --> 00:00:51.890 align:middle line:84%
They are the fish going on
with their own concerns.
