The chain of teaching runs through the centuries—
from the one who learned to the one who goes to teach,
each link formed in a classroom or a moment,
each link extending what the chain can reach.

My teacher was taught by someone who was taught—
the chain goes back to the first act of showing,
the first human who turned to another and said:
look—this is how. This is where the knowing

begins. And it has not stopped beginning.
The chain is long and it will outlast me—
but I am one link in the great transmission,
and the chain is why the future can be free.
