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
