Steps in the sand. Slow going,
careful, unhurried – a narrow track,
time-honoured, habitual: our
forefathers walked here to tend
their daily fields, past the tall trees.
Our parents’ feet have worn away
the grey dust that settles on
the red soil anew, with each wind, and we
follow their footsteps, carrying
the long knife and a bag full of seeds.
It will be hard to teach
our impatient children to tread their way
slowly, to live channelled by long
tradition and the songs of their elders
at dusk – to not disturb their world.

DawnJover 11 years ago...we want our children to revere tradition and the stability it represents, and yet simultaneously to strike out for new territory, to find new ways to make their lives more fulfilling than ours, to learn from our mistakes, and make new traditions.
