Moon Teaching

The child lowers the head.
The crane answers.

Water receives both
without breaking.

Feathers do not move the air.
Beads do not speak.
The moon listens anyway.

Endurance stands
knee-deep in cold,
learning patience from still legs.

Compassion is shown
by not stepping closer,
by knowing when enough
Is enough.

Protection is balance—
beak and breath aligned,
Reflection unshaken.

The ancestors pass
through this quiet meeting.

They say:
Honor what stands before you.
and the way forward
will remain clear.
