dear future healer,

where are you going, so hurried?

don’t you know from your studies

nature rarely rushes, for she knows

magnificence unfolds patiently,

if it is to be sustained.

don’t you recall Newton’s laws?

nature rarely rushes,

because she knows the rules.

combustion is balanced by exhaustion.

she does not carelessly dole out her fire.

dear future healer,

where are you going, so hurried?

before you light another match,

nature asked me to remind your magnificent Self

that Sun returns again tomorrow,

her presence eternally unfolding from the horizon,

ready to light your path.

nature asked me to remind your magnificent Self

your journey is more than this single day.
