New learning, in trial, experimenting,

From seeing something done, to exploring

Attention drawn to the possible move

Expansion and innovation of a way

Doing and engaging, letting everyone

Participate and give a contribution

Without making it burdensome

 

Nine hundred young students with ideas

Wanting to make Campus Life lively

Actions reasonable, caring, respectful

Instilling reason, religion and kindness

Motivating to think about and scribe

Walk up to the Mike and dare to speak

Write it out and submit to the zone leads

Follow up discussions around the theme

With friends who want to explore likewise

 

Write up the actionable suggestions

Arrive at a consensus around the theme

Had them read out, typed out, displayed

A moment of acceptance to be committed

A pledge in silence, as with commencement

Of ownership over an idea that germinated

Circulated, found reception in many a mind

Urged thereby to experiment, see it through

 

Self-learning from an apparent success:

Be always cool, live the principles

Whatever happens is what could have

Be gentle in nudging to rephrase

Being forceful to effect a change is crime

The missing elements – Board, wall display

Except the Law and Principles and Zones

It did work and the support of faculty

Made the difference and lightened load

 

Could have added a few more moments

For fun time attention catchers in earnest

Be explicit on missed themes in recounting

Available on time to consider and resume

The replication of same set of questions

For multiple groups, asking everyone move

From one circle to another, befriending

New ideas, faces, words, voices, connections

Making it all happen is being a facilitator.
