How do you become
something you’ve never seen?
Can you pick up chopsticks
and use them without first seeing?
Could  you play a banjo without help?
If you’ve never seen sanity
how can you model it?
Surrounded by hate and doubt
how do you know how to love?
Directions, models, instruction…
a person walking the path before you.
We need not recreate the wheel,
but with it available, we can change the world
with tools we’ve been shown how to use.
