Oh brothers and sisters, wake up!
Awaken, for the train of life is departing and will not return. Past time and past days are gone forever. Life requires balance, like a bird with two wings, found in truthful companionship. Human nature is restless, seeking constant change in friendships as in food. From birth we seek the mother's lap, then toys, then partners, and finally the lap of God. This ultimate refuge is not easily reached; one must first honor Mother Earth, who graciously accepts us. We need a trusted companion with whom to share everything, including our anger.
"Past time, past days, a past bullet from a gun, and past salt that has left the body—none of these will come back."
"Life is pain. Your days are passing. And those days that have passed will not come back."
