today, amidst sharp winds,
compelling backward steps,
press forward, silently
for gossip cannot induce
loose words without
breath's harvest
& anger will not quake without
a mind's ill design
therefore let air disperse,
mingled in the fragrant
stillness of unbridled peace
compelling backward steps,
press forward, silently
for gossip cannot induce
loose words without
breath's harvest
& anger will not quake without
a mind's ill design
therefore let air disperse,
mingled in the fragrant
stillness of unbridled peace
I am traveling like a nomad to 4 different classes teaching face to face and remote students. Apparently the heat is not working in my usual classroom. Instead of venting, I wrote this poem. I'm lucky to work with amazing, talented students and to do a job I love.
