Ground Breaking
Suns and moons
sons and daughters
rise in the far east
near east, too
yeast and muscle do
words from Confucius
& Aristotle
teaching us what to do
how to listen
for a full
& global insight
during both day and night
just as we enjoy
the sun’s daily glisten
what we need to do now
carefully listen...
a learning lesson...
— Roy Fairfield ’36
