Doubt, you have lingered too long! Begone unwelcome guest!

Myself. You don't wanna know. Yikes! Terrible teacher.

Now, on a higher note, with due regard to my Self, yes! Great! but how often do i listen to that Self? never! the little i never listens to that wisdom. Pay attention to the little i (usually masked by fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, doubt - ooh - doubt! ), but not too much attention, just enough to acknowledge its presence (not its concerns, that will take a really long time, and we really want the big I [the real You, not the trifling one] to be heard)

Is that cheating? "One teacher, by many names, and many students." Who first said it? doesn't matter, we're not on this page to serve the ego - common dignity, yes. Ego, no.

We learn when we choose to, when our greater Self is EDUCED, or inspired. Early in life, that choice is often beckoned from without, at some time in Life, hopefully, we will heed the inner beckoning (choose to learn, to grow wise, discerning - not just the accumulation of facts)

I believe, occassionally, that when the words fall from my heart or hands on to the page, or keyboard, or screen, that it is the openness, or opening of the heart's ear to that which truly exists.

Where is my teacher? Have you seen him/her? I must go for a stroll, feed the birds, appreciate the trees, I need to listen, to feed my ears, my heart.
