A seed grows naturally when you provide air, water, sunlight, soil, and every other thing that it needs, it doesn’t fail! You don’t ask a seed to reflect on its growth, No sir! You provide everything it needs and you wait. Sow a little faith and wait. Never let yourself believe that a child is a lost cause. Never let the child believe he is a lost cause.
No doubt you are a great sculptor, but refrain from chipping those parts. They might not fit in the sculpture you picture, but let them be. Without them, the world would be filled with more YOUs, more “could have been YOUs”, more “imaginary YOUs” – redundant, ghost mirrors.
You might be a wonderful gardener but do not trim those offshoots that you deem un-necessary. Yes, they won’t fit in your garden. They never will. They don’t even want to be in your garden. So, just let them be!
I’m sure you are an amazing artist, ready to color-up their canvas. But, put your paints inside your bag and look closely! Each of those faces has a color of their own.
You drop your chisel, throw away your scissor and put away your bag of colors and then you wait! With that faith, you wait. Sitting by the side of that stone, standing next to that seed, Looking at that seemingly empty canvas, you wait.
And,
You let it be, the rocks of the mountain
You let it fill, the colors on the canvas
You let it grow, Like a Tree in the forest,
Wild and Free....
Happy Teacher's Day
