“She sat at the back and they said she was shy, She led from the front and they hated her pride, They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance, They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence, When she shared no ambition they said it was sad, So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad, They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears, And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears, And she listened to all of it thinking she should, Be the girl they told her to be best as she could, But one day she asked what…

“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.Lay your bed where the cat sleeps.Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit.Plant the tree where the mole digs.
