Grateful new teacher gives thanks

I would like to acknowledge my teacher in Seattle, Linda Robinson, for holding fast to working with a diamond in the rough (big smiles and hugs to you Linda) and Patricia Strand [for] coming back in July fresh and invigorated from her accreditation week and passing on to me valuable tips. I wish to thank Carmen for recognizing my mystical larger self and helping me to ground and be more fully present. I wish to thank Robert for sharing his poetry (I have had some of my poetry published here and there and am so happy to find Justin and others with such strong interest and talent in the poetic form—this was one of many many wonderful surprises). I wish to thank Justin for teaching simply by “being.” Two very valuable lessons come to mind that I learned from Justin. One was when he was talking in front of the class and I knew I had already experienced that moment (so I was being in the past and future simultaneously) and then later upon reading from the lil booklets we were all given as a much treasured gift, I read where these type of occurances will be normal as the evolved beings we are. I have had many many experiences of moving in and out of space and time and am happy to be with such a knowing and loving extended family. I have felt very lonely and alone with these things and am so grateful to have so much wisdom and experience from so many of you to assist in my journey. The other personal and poignant lesson from Justin was when I was acknowledging him as he was signing my textbook and he reached up to brush his hand upon my cheek. I moved too quickly and missed his precious gift. My timing is often still too quick (not waiting for the weight shift) and I am very conscious now of how many other gifts I might be missing by moving too quickly and not allowing the moment to unfold. . . .
