A Lesson in Listening.

There is an aspect of teaching, a ‘balance’ – if you will. Between sharing the excitement of a heart now awakened and waiting for listening ear.

We want all to know the expansiveness of freedom; to understand the true nature of an unimpeded soul. Yet, the moment we lean forward to offer ‘opinion’ – we’re met with bristling disregard.

Perhaps, in saying ‘you’re doing it all wrong’ – we’re missing that there might be another way?

Not all paths are so clearly defined. Likewise, there are many paths which lead to ‘home’.

As teachers, we must be willing to engage the energy of ‘always learning’ – to allow this discovery of awakening to unfold.

“One of the things you will find,” shares Ram Dass. “Is the ability to appreciate what is, as it is, in equanimity and compassion, and love that isn’t conditional.”

You see, when I answer ‘the gratitude is always mine’ – what I mean is, ‘thank you, for helping my heart to grow.’

We are teachers, yes. But, learners just as well. And, our greatest gift is our capacity to listen.

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
