resistance is receding
with clarity in bloom
boundaries are softening
rationality for a moment
is brushed away
and experience shines..
teachers..now and past
are placed in our paths
and heard with new eyes..
teachers within..at last
are accepted with joy..
understandings of self
stand in stark contrast
with toxicities without..
new perceptive twists
recognize real roots
and burn the brush
which for centuries
has dimmed our view:
a dream too wild...
