“Life teaches in rhythm, like verse.”

Verse teaches by pattern, not by lecture — a rhyme lands because it echoes something you already heard, not because it explains itself. Innocent says life runs the same way. One thing happens, then another, and the meaning shows up in how they rhyme with each other rather than in either event alone. Waiting for a single defining moment to arrive with its lesson attached misses the method entirely. The lesson was always in the repetition.
