00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:01.635 align:middle line:90%
Finding a teacher.

00:00:01.635 --> 00:00:07.510 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.510 --> 00:00:10.960 align:middle line:84%
In the woods I came on
an old friend fishing

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.000 align:middle line:84%
and I asked him a
question, and he said wait.

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.400 align:middle line:84%
Fish were rising
in the deep stream,

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.270 align:middle line:84%
but his line was not
stirring, but I waited.

00:00:23.270 --> 00:00:28.660 align:middle line:84%
It was a question about the
sun, about my two eyes, my ears,

00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:33.520 align:middle line:84%
my mouth, my heart, the Earth
with its four seasons, my feet

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.540 align:middle line:84%
where I was standing,
where I was going.

00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:41.290 align:middle line:84%
It slipped through my hands
as though it were water

00:00:41.290 --> 00:00:43.550 align:middle line:90%
into the river.

00:00:43.550 --> 00:00:47.740 align:middle line:84%
It flowed under the trees,
it sank under holes far away

00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:50.470 align:middle line:90%
and was gone without me.

00:00:50.470 --> 00:00:53.620 align:middle line:90%
Then where I stood night fell.

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:56.740 align:middle line:90%
I no longer knew what to ask.

00:00:56.740 --> 00:01:00.280 align:middle line:84%
I could tell that
his line had no hook.

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.870 align:middle line:84%
I understood that I was
to stay and eat with him.

00:01:03.870 --> 00:01:12.000 align:middle line:90%
