Teacher, Honor Thyself

Just Teach

Stop chasing
the test,

Just teach.

Just ask for
your inner wisdom

For the
lesson hanging like ripened fruit and

Ready to
drop.

Just know
when

Your
students are ready to harvest their own imagination,

To make
castles of numbers and paint,

Or spend the
whole day outdoors

Learning the
joy of autumn

As grass and
wind and light.

You have
been chosen as teacher.

You have the
wisdom to teach.

Just teach.

    Thanks, Samantha! Teachers have such wisdom; they just need to own their own power. As do we all, come to think of it!
