Teach the teacher
\nto forgive the teaching
\nthat he teaches.
\nOpening books with a rule.
\nConstraining stars inside
\ntheir addition.
\nTeaching words by the mastery
\nof calligraphy.
\nImprisoning wildness inside a cage
\nand watching wings destroy themselves.<\/p>\n
Oh to suffer at these well-intentioned hands
\nTo feel the pain of their impatience.
\nTearing webs with clumsy fingers.
\nIgnoring the flag of the country
\nthey are entering.
\nIts mountains
\nthat capture the harbor
\nof the sun’s rising.
\nTo see further in an instant
\nthan the teacher can ever teach.<\/p>\n
That teaching is not a bondage
\nbut sharing.
\nGoing on a hunt together
\nfor the holy grail,
\none castle at a time,
\nand joining a family
\ngrowing inside and outside,
\nwith the treasure of earth’s school
\none discovery
\nat a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
