of roots, I find myself wordless -
voices of instruction silenced,
the work at hand teaching
with the tools it finds in me:
fascination, patience,
admiration, willingness -
these things that render me able
to ride the lesson through its bends and lurches
into the next moment
And I consider:
many are eager to instruct,
but they can only help me
when I have this attitude -
can only pull me forward
when I stand in the present intelligence
that everything here reflects.
