Despite his greatness... the Sun is humble and scrupulously fulfills its duty.

Learn to wait, and to do so, the first thing you need is knowing that you are waiting and what are you waiting for; control yourself, and be even more humble. Relax your heart, learn to wait, and while you're waiting, do not miss any second, what is to be, will be; at the right time and in the right quantity. Night Eagle eyes filled with tears and his face was covered with shame. His teacher had subtly taught him, that despite everything, he yet had much to work and learn. That self-control was the most difficult struggle that a man can take. To carve a face and polish the spirit was the work of a lifetime. Then peace came back to the boy spirit and he could only express:

"Thank you, thank you very Venerable Teacher".

From that day, Night Eagle changed significantly; not externally, but internally. He felt more settled, more moderate and humble. Something that came from very deep, surfaced in the everyday world; was something indescribable, filled with harmony, peace and quiet all Night Eagle spaces and in some mysterious way, a poem permanently came to his mind.

—Perhaps I am going home? Perhaps will go with him?
Also my life on Earth shortened!
Be you, God, for me: mold me!
Entertain your chest, appease your heart, and brighten your heart!
Perhaps you think my heart that you will only live on Earth?
You worry, oh my heart. I was born on Earth!
Perhaps you are your own friend?
Perhaps you live by yourself?
Be you, God, for me: mold me!
Entertain your chest, appease and brighten your heart!
Oh you, Lord of the Turquoise staff:
I'm crawling, I walk the Earth!
