The poet believes , a poet, lover and Birdwatcher can never become successful in life without patience. Neither poet can write a good poem without patience, neither lover can win his lover heart and neither birdwatcher can see bird which he wants to see. So to be successful in life a poet, lover and birdwatcher should must have patience.
The story of poem begins with poet who says if you want see your favorite bird or wants to win your lover’s heart then you must have patience for it. You cannot see your favorite bird or win your lover heart by being in hurry. The best poet wait for words patiently, they always think thoroughly while choosing words for their poem.
The poet says to find a bird or to please a woman is not an exercise of will. But patiently waiting on a hill and observing every moments of bird is a quality of true birdwatcher. To find a rare bird and to watch its every small moments require a true form of patience which only a best birdwatcher can possessed.
You have to patiently wait for a woman till she lose her control and come to you by herself. Lover should never give up until his or her lover surrender herself and accept his love. Just like a poet who waits for the right word and never use his words in hurry. Whether you are a lover, poet or birdwatcher to become successful in life you should have patience.
The slow movement is not asking us to just wait as to watch rare birds you have to go, if you really want to see a rare birds then you to have go because you can’t just show your patience by staying at same place. To be successful in life we have to move forward.
These rare birds are only find in places where no goes, a place where river flows silently, or at a shore where no one dares to go. To find rare birds you have to also go to those places where you don’t want to go.
To win a woman’s heart you have to go at that black side of heart where no has entered before. It is a place where women think about their lover and doesn’t show it to world.
Their heart not only contains bones and muscle but it also has darkness and fear which is hide from false light. When a true lover enters into women heart and understand their feeling then they know it themselves and accept the love of their lover. But it can only happen by waiting for them and giving them time.
The poet is fighting with himself to find right word and they will keep fight for it till they find best words for their poem. Their fighting is making them tired but they will keep fighting till they find right word for their poem. They are doing it to make their poem so much interesting and great that even a deaf can also hear and blind also recovers it sight by reading it.
