A good leader is the one
Who doesn’t lead at all.
He inspires followership.
A good follower is the one
Who doesn’t follow at all.
He merges with the flow.
A good teacher is the one
Who doesn’t teach at all.
He allows learning to reveal itself.
A good worker is the one
Who doesn’t work at all.
He enjoys his vocation.
A good actor is the one
Who doesn’t act at all.
He makes the character manifest.
A good coach is the one
Who doesn’t coach at all.
He alters the game occurence.
And often we find that in overkill
We poison the land that we so zealously till.
Pause a little, listen around
For nature’s whispers, life’s little sounds.
Life’s book is full of oxymoron
What hurts as noise is also a song.
And truth is sitting elsewhere unseen
silently at passion’s smoke screen…
