Remembering takes us over, <br /> <br />A path we once trod, but need to feel again. <br /> <br />Learning takes us over unknown paths, <br /> <br />With fresh vistas, sharp bends, stones underfoot, <br /> <br />That teach us, to be mindful. <br /> <br />Ever present, in the now, <br /> <br />Open to new grooves being carved into our soul. <br /> <br />Until the new learning becomes the old remembering <br /> <br />Skin that needs to be sloughed off, <br /> <br />Revealing a tender new being. <br /> <br />Created by the old, yielding to the new, <br /> <br />Linked to the past and the future, by you.<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-learning-and-remembering/
