The Novice

Sometimes

when a strong wind blows

seeds are thrust skyward,
it's the winds way of revealing

more fertile ground.

Although,

it's only after a husk

is burst by the strength

of a new shoot,
there's much to see.

In fact, new shoots can be hard

to sight from a distance.

We need to wait

to see a heaven bound

earth dweller

from afar.

If you're patient

that is, or draw near enough

for intimate 
exchange!

I do admit, I'm always delighted 
by how unique each of us 
actually is,

each in-dweller 
with our own flavor,

our own look.

Each with a set

of personal instruction.

Seed-like we are always 
approaching the beginning

in some area in our life.

And really,
the only arriving

we ever do

is at the next

new 
beginning.
