David and I just got home. It is dinner time but before we eat I needed to read my friend Denise's blog and then write my own post for today. It is always great to leave home just so that you can experience something new. It is satisfying as well to return home, to your nest.
The sun is blazing away today, spring is definitely in the air, every single fragment of snow has melted from our property here in the Avon River Valley. The lawn is showing signs of green life and my tulips are several inches out of the ground.
My heart is also full with joy for the wonderful lessons learned with Mayhar Raz in Fredericton, N.B.this weekend. Studying in such an intensive fashion gives you an opportunity to leap forward in your understanding of the subject under scrutiny. This can be true of the study of any subject. If you commit yourself to spending ten hours with an excellent teacher and you try your best to act as a respectful student of course you will learn something. Not only did we do yoga asana together we ate meals together, shared the same roof together and laughed a lot about the follies and comedies of humanity around the supper table. It was a thorough blessing indeed to have such a few days.
For you who wish to study a subject, choose your teacher wisely. Then spend time with them. Bask in their willingness to share their knowledge. Soak it up. Be not afraid to ask and answer questions. Share part of yourself, part of your journey, even if this is done in silence. An excellent teacher can read your intent from just watching your reaction to their own words.
Once again, I offer great respect and gratitude to the teachers who help me on my path. I wish that you too find a teacher to help you on your own chosen path. Namaste.
