The master speed
“
Once you agree that life is just life forevermore, together, wing to wing and oar to oar
The Gemstone Line
How does it sound? Why does it work?
The poem
No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you two have a speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
Nor chiefly that you may go where you will,
But that in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still—
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Give the gift of love!
