Are you still in sync with the beginning of the school year each fall? I am. I started school EVERY year without a break for almost 30 YEARS! Every day, another 30 years after leaving "full-time" work in schools, I realize some little bit of wisdom I missed. Each day, I'm pulled by my calling to be a teacher, wanting to instruct others. It's ironic that the MOST IMPORTANT thing I've discovered as an educator is that you don't need me to lecture you! There are lessons all around us if we are willing to absorb a few basic ideas: 1) What bugs me about you is what I need to study and shift within myself. 2) I need to adopt and practice experiences that delight and inspire me daily. 3) I need to fully understand that I am a generous, brilliant expression of the unconditional, eternal Love that decided to bring me to life. Look around.
Feel the pinch, the tickle, the tease. Ego reacts, love lifts, spirit calls us to pay attention; to LISTEN: not to the words~ to the feelings that call us deeper into the lesson. We choose. We create. We connect. To become the best we see, we must release what we like least. We lose enmity and gather grace by noticing how teachers turn the Light Within.
