That everything has its season, and all that is necessary is the patience. Enduring. Necessary, rather than cruel. It seems wrong to see it anywhere other than the mountain-top where it can circle, freely; listening for the keen, mourning voice. Knowing anyway that it regards you with disdain, if it regards you at all. Focussed. Not caring what you would think of it, what you might call beautiful.
