The Garden of Teaching

Like a gardener,

Teachers can

Choose a sunlit spot,

Feed the earth,

Be rain,

Rejoice in the dance

Of humming bees

And birds, and

Photograph the flowers.

 

But the flowers just are:

Being flowerness.

And the teachers can also just be:

Holding space for growth,

Holding space for light.

 

How simple.
