[03:32.66][03:05.78][02:45.32][01:59.40][01:32.53][01:12.79][00:45.64][00:24.70][00:05.00]
[00:06.53]There's a crack in the glass where the water gets out.
[00:11.15]There's a dusty wind when the heart's in drought.
[00:16.02]And the map of the world looks as if true north,
[00:20.76]Disappeared entirely.
[00:28.57]I can live divided or bent
[00:33.92]Conspire in my own diminishment
[00:38.41]Or believe in the better world I've dreamt
[00:43.99]That grows from inside out
[03:06.46][01:33.24][00:46.57]So today I'll drop stones into the river.
[03:12.48][02:25.84][01:39.10][00:52.67]And the current takes them out into forever.
[03:18.23][02:31.76][01:44.94][00:58.59]And the truth is most of us will never know,
[03:24.16][02:37.61][01:50.96][01:04.50]Where our best intentions go.
[03:27.55][01:54.53][01:07.85]And still I'll drop another stone.
[01:14.91]So we trust in a dim flashlight,
[01:20.57]And always walk into available light.
[01:25.00]I'm not a woman inclined to bet,
[01:29.83]But it's never failed me yet.
[02:19.09]So today we'll drop stones into the river.
[02:40.98]And still we'll drop another stone.
[02:48.41]The empty self still hears the call,
[02:54.19]To live in the center of the ache and awe.
[02:58.01]It's there the hope of the whole world shines.
[03:03.36]And yes, there still is time.
