" Mother why does the River not rise It is not the River's time Why does the seed not sprout It is not the seed's time Why does the rain not fall the leaf not unfurl itself Where is the hind and why does she not graze the fields before us it is not their time The River knows its time The seed knows its time The rain the leaf and the hind They know their time The River will rise the seed will sprout The rains come down and the leaves unfurl The hind will bring her children to graze before us All in their time "
