i love the ones who guide
without judgment,
who stretch the edges of my mind
gently,
without making me feel small.
they give answers like wind,
softly shifting me,
letting me catch the lesson
without bruising my pride.
with them, learning is light,
a quiet expansion,
not a mirror of what i lack,
but a window into what i can become.
i write for those who teach
without dimming the learner’s spark
