In Remembering

There is a remembering in everything.

There are many things we never learned
in school. The purpose of this is to allow
for room to grow.

Yes, sometimes success comes from all
we know as life proceeds in renewed
discovering. That which was lost is regained
in remembering.

You have read each page assigned, and put
the book aside. When you then run across
a passage in life, you realize the lesson read
again never really left you.

The tree buds its leaves anew each spring.
It stands tall and broad year after year,
continues to flourish on in the deep shade
of remembering.

Even the dog curls up and falls asleep remembering.
