On the Road to Where
in the great
classroom of life
we are all teachers
for we are all students
first
you do not have to have a college degree
to be a teacher
in the great
classroom of life
but you do have to be a student
always
and what you teach others
does not necessarily take semesters or quarters
or lifetimes to learn
a gesture takes but a moment
an extraordinary moment
in an ordinary day
is happening
right now
to each student
all around the world
in all stages of life
beginning or ending
we learn something new
something we didn’t know
until we lived it
‘til we felt it
the lessons are all different
and come in all forms
shapes and sizes
but no matter the form
the shape or the size
the lessons are connected
somehow
there are hard ones
and easy ones
there are painful ones
and joyful ones
there are surface ones
and deeper ones
there are strong ones
and weak ones
each person you meet
each experience you go through
teaches you something
you didn’t know
that you needed to know
from the moment of our birth
to the moment of our death
there is something
always something
more to learn
more to teach
more to understand
