I am not in a hurry. Hurry of what? The sun and the moon are not in a hurry, and they are right. To be in a hurry is to believe that we can go beyond our legs, or that, making a jump, we can jump beyond our shadow. No, I don`t know how to be in a hurry. If I stretch my arm, I will reach exactly what my arm can reach- Not even a centimeter further. I touch only what I touch, not what I think. I can only sit where I stand. And this makes me laugh like all absolutely truthful truths, but what makes me laugh even more is that we are always thinking about something else, and we live alienated from our reality. And we are always outside it because we are here. By Alberto Caeiro
