There is one kind of person. We go through different stages: infant, child, adolescent, householder, elder. We can learn from one another, we can love one another, we can help one another.

put forth root in search of water
put forth shoot in search of light
many many the mature tree’s
roots limbs twigs and leaves
babies share similar tasks
elders branch out and out
