Teach Me to Love

Teach me to love

Need. Yes. A woman. 
To love
Learn the love

Again. I am deeply disappointed
In the women
The reality is that fearing

I am afraid of the law and women
If I watch a woman, that could be sexual harassment
If I touch a woman, that is sexual harassment

I have no law. No protection
I am a victim of anti-male

WHY TEACH HISTORY

May we be blessed to understand 
the words of Leszek Kolakowski
Who understood how teaching history 
could take a country far….

We learn history, he said, 
not in order to know how to behave…
or how to succeed…
but to better know who we are.

Teach your children well

I taught my little daughter
how to ford the raging water.
And I taught my little son
how to calm a storm not yet begun.
Just so they would know ~ how it is done.

UNLESS WE TEACH THEM OTHERWISE

As adults when we look out on our world
and pain and sadness are all we see
we need only look upon our children
to restore our faith in humanity 

And remember how children are accepting and generous…
how we see the kindness in their eyes 
and how they know nothing of prejudice and hate…
unless we teach them otherwise.

WHAT NATURE IS TRYING TO TEACH US

When you look at a field of sunflowers…even though they all share the same name
you quickly notice how no two sunflowers are the same.

How each sunflower has their own unique beauty…their own allure…their own appeal
How each sunflower’s beauty enhances the beauty of the field.

Sunflowers, raindrops, trees, leaves….are are all doing their best to reach us….

Chambers of the Mind

In chambers of the mind, we store each day,
Each lesson wrapped in wonder, fear, or joy.
What matters most will never fade away.

The smell of chalk, the light at morning's ray,
First bicycle, first book, beloved toy
In chambers of the mind, we store each day.

Not facts alone, but how they came to stay:
The teacher's smile, the moment

Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did

According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires.
Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis-
couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let
him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls.
In order for them they to

What She Never Had to Teach

My grandmother's hands 
knew things mine have forgotten,
how to make bread rise, 
how to hem a dress 
so it would last.

She saved everything: 
buttons in mason jars, 
stories in the space 
between stirring and serving, 
love in the way she said 
my name.

This is what we lose
when we move too fast,
the slow art of remembering,

His Life's Purpose

Sessions, nothing but concessions
Led Him to that fateful cross
God's mind was made up
He would suffer Jesus' loss
So now I shall have Him rise
He shall touch, teach, and heal
Jesus life now had much meaning
His life's purpose became so real

EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING THEY AN TEACH US

May we be blessed to understand:

we are all on a journey that is only partially our own…
with individual experiences and memories to collect…
and there is so much we can learn from one another
when our journeys intersect.

To Teach A Pebble How To Sing

To teach a pebble how to sing,
you need a simple shepherd’s sling.

The stone’s inclined to be a grouch
when first you set it in the pouch.

It will go silent, being trapped
so tightly in the leather wrapped.

But as you swing the pouch around,
it comes alive; you hear a sound.

At last that pebble sings with glee
as you release

Teaching

The Ones who Teach,
help us Learn,
And in The End,
become, a Quick source of
a Friend.

We are Bound to Seperate,
And Fall to different Lines
or Paths.

But Maybe,
—Still—
Make a Friend.

THE VALUES WHICH CELESTIAL BODIES TEACH US

The Sun gives all of us light,
And we all do for it fight,
And it also provides us heat,
Making darkness - Retreat.

The black hole is for us the traps,
Which we may fall into for travelling against our lives' maps,
The heat taken by a Comet to land on Earth,
Makes its beauty double the worth!

The Planets rotate around

O Lord give us and teach us the wisdom to number our days

When Christ was crucified on Calvary's Cross, there was felt a huge earthquake
Inside of the City of Jerusalem, the veil in the temple was ripped into two and the
Temple itself felt the earthquake.  That's really when their graves were opened 
And they appeared to many and talked openly about their resurrection.  When,
Jesus Christ

Sand Promises

As I walk the beach,
I ask what will you teach?

The waves lick my feet, 
with a white foam so sweet.

Sand promises to do and see,
is this the magic key?

I look back to see my footprints,
cool and refreshing as a mouth full of mints.

The sand of tan and water so blue,
your promises were always new.
