When you want to learn
don’t start with what you don’t know;
examine yourself.
Remember, your ignorance
begins at the beginning.
When you want to grow
don’t start seeking the sunshine.
Connect to the ground.
Until your roots are dirty,
you won’t need much chlorophyll.
When you want to love
don’t start with the external.
You won’t find much there
only the same emptiness
reflected in the mirror.
