I wish
schooling nurtured natural creativity
and personal skill
rather than
mere curriculum;
I understand
a sense of direction,
but I understand that everyone's path is unique
and that perhaps North to one
is South to another,
or vice-versa;
not to instill a hierarchy of preference,
but that it may lead to finding oneself very much lost
by following what genuinely worked for another.
(That is, assuming a lack of manipulation,
which seems to assume a nonhuman subject.)
Nurture thy own skill;
therein is thy salvation.
