No Knowing

Do not follow the path I say
for it does not exist
you cannot find enlightenment
contained within a list
do not follow leaders
they cannot set you free
and perhaps now most importantly
listen not to me.
- Ikkyu

I really enjoyed reading this poem because it really re-iterates what I believe. I don't believe leaders can set you free but they can do many other things. Leaders are there for a set period of time to ensure that something can grow. They see problems and fix them to the best of their ability. They are there for you to use them, and move on. Myself, (or you) and leaders are there for a set period of time for us to use them, then move on and create our own paths. It's a relationship not ment to be a marriage. Although, with all this said, I do wish to be a leader in the noble way of my people, I want more create free people. I will live this message. It has offical become apart of OldManRivers life.
