Remembering takes us over, br br A path we once trod, but need to feel again. br br Learning takes us over unknown paths, br br With fresh vistas, sharp bends, stones underfoot, br br That teach us, to be mindful. br br Ever present, in the now, br br Open to new grooves being carved into our soul. br br Until the new learning becomes the old remembering br br Skin that needs to be sloughed off, br br Revealing a tender new being. br br Created by the old, yielding to the new, br br Linked to the past and the future, by you.
