The other night when I was researching[00:00:20]
What was going to be discussed today[00:00:21]
I came across a passage wrote down[00:00:23]
I think it really exemplifies[00:00:27]
What the young brother next to me was just talking about[00:00:29]
And I learned that all things must come to an end[00:00:32]
It is an inevitable part of the cycle of existance[00:00:37]
All things must conclude[00:00:40]
Take the analogy of a tree that grows in Brooklyn[00:00:42]
Among the steel and the concrete with all its glorious[00:00:45]
Branches and leaves[00:00:48]
One day it too will pass on its legacy[00:00:50]
Through the seeds it dropped to the ground[00:00:52]
And as the wind carries these seeds throughout[00:00:54]
Wherever they might move a new life[00:00:56]
Will begin for each one of them as[00:00:58]
They stand as a monument to the one that came before[00:01:00]
That came before[00:01:02]
That came before[00:01:03]
That came before[00:01:03]
That came before[00:01:04]
