being a teacher

WELCOME, Christy, to the wonderful world of webbles (thomas’ term for weblogs),
life cultivating life is an inspiriting new friend in the neighborhood:

our face, our presence, is so precious… seeing & acknowledging one another is such a deep true part of love and friendship and community. …

what I am particularly learning about teaching is the way it is a powerful vehicle for making space to venture deeply into what matters most to us about being alive–relevant to any course topic, whether it’s herbal formulation, practice management, or physiology from a systems perspective.

which seems deeply related to jeff’s quote of rabbi shefa gold:

the laws of empowerment — how to see and call forth the qualities of leadership in others, and how to share in the joy and the burden of being human. If you’re sitting alone with the burden of Truth, it will weigh you down. And if you’re serving people from morning till night, you cannot become a proper vessel for Revelation.

Comments:

thank you for the warm welcome, invitation, evocation, dear ashley-heart, and for all of the luminous weaving you do. i have an image of you (one of many!) as a kind of tinkerbell, zooming around inner and outer and every space, connecting and illuminating with your whole body and soul, sparking, layering, effervescing, and occasionally throwing it all up in the air with both hands, just to see how it will sprinkle down!

lots of love,


p.s. “webbles”–i love that! thanks, thomas!
