Allow Yourself To Be Taught

Allow yourself to be taught,
And with that knowledge plant a seed.
Let it grow so you may harvest a dream. 
And another and another like fruit from a tree.

And let yourself catch a wind,
And sail should there be water to float,
And with that knowledge navigate the stars.
To reach the dream sails full of hope.

And never be still should disappointment come,
A windless sky for a while might be,
When all seems lost and nothing is.
Knowledge makes waves in a calm sea.

Greg I only read two lines and this went to my FAVES list, so now I am back to finish reading it. All I know is my soul loves it.
