27 of 81, Poems from the Tao, Spoken Word by Pryde Foltz


27 of 81

The seed does not know
Where the wind will take it
It leaves no footprint
To mar the pristine air

Only when it lands
Settles in the mud and dirt
Is it reborn

Transforming the barren
To the lush and productive
Breaking up the soil
Encouraging others
To follow its example
To grow

The teacher can only teach
Because she has learnt
What another has not

She is not good
The student is not bad
She is not sharp
The student is not dull

Simply … her seed
Has landed
The other’s is in flight

Once coaxed to earth
The student becomes the teacher
The teacher becomes the student

All is new and unfolding
