THE TEACHER SPEAKS

His gentle energy touches all life;
heals to the depth of the soul.
With compassionate, powerful voice
he tells of walking an endless shore
of a great river flowing through all dimensions.

His words gently weave a pattern
the shape of a basket:
precious thoughts and colourful imagery create anew,
offer a place to hold
negative energy, darkened images
‘til transmuted fully
by the wisdom of the Infinite
giving wings to shared love...

His path is the breath of the wind,
no one knows where he is from
nor where he goes.
He travels space, he travels time,
teaching the open minded,
giving to the seeking, finding the lost,
strengthening the timid,
upholding the faithful
with unconditional love.

If you have heard these words in your ear,
you have heard him:

"Know and believe your truth:
everyone has a different story,
each a grain of sand forming a beach;
not one ever like another...
Be swayed by nothing
but your own discoveries
from your secret store of hidden knowledge.

Thus, and only thus will the Cosmos  
open its storehouses of abundance;
give you the key to every door,
and any door you open
shall never close,
nor any dream you dream
not come to pass.”

WindWalker - Wow. This is really a wonderful read. Welcome to Passions. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking
I passed that point long ago

A teacher can mold the mind of their students like a potter gently forms the clay into a work of art.Good read.
