Adaptation

[Image Description: the poet’s hand, covered in soil from gardening, holds a maple tree seedling with several small, green leaves growing from a block of potting soil with roots visible.]

Change occurs,
requiring adaptation.

Some refuse,
heels dug in,

only their view
only their way.

Some flow,
untethered

to place or
to values.

Some evaluate,
ponder,

may stay,
may move,

knowing there is
always

more to discover,
more to realize,

wisdom for when
to stand, when to flow,

when to cultivate the shift
that ushers transformation.
