Joe Berry, LearningQUEST instructor and member, shared this poem in the Summer/Fall term 2011 Poetry class called “Poetry & Musings of Joe Berry”

LearningQUEST

For a moment,
 we meet and touch,
  a bit of each
   rubbing off on the other.

In this way,
 we walk away,
  for good or ill,
   forever changed.

It is my wish
 that the bit of me
  this moment has left on you
   serves you well.

I am richer
 for the bit of you
  that I now carry
   with me.

A quest for learning,
 of necessity,
  demands a rubbing
   on each other.

Change,
 for good or ill,
  which would you have
   it be?
