Acorn
We sat in a circle
and stared at the acorn,
each dwelling in his heart
upon its insubstantial nature.
Let us realize this truth
that this acorn contains the world:
acorn grows to tree
tree makes a million acorns
acorns all grow into trees
trees all make more acorns....
If each were to grow,
they would take over the world.
Let us look deep inside
and tend to our acorns.
