Being a Teacher

______________

I am a life-long teacher, which means I am a life-long student. I come from a lineage of teachers. And so, I offer this small poem about this noble calling.

BEING A TEACHER

Like the moon standing full

reflecting as much of the Source

as it can so those unaccustomed

to the dark can find their way,

this is the path you have chosen,

that has chosen you.

A Question to Walk With: In conversation with a friend or loved one, tell the story of one important teacher who has shaped your life and how.
