Where are your teachers?

“Where are your teachers?” the young monk asked the old woman.

“Here, there and everywhere,” she answered slowly spinning the globe pointing to Wuhan, New York City, Seoul, Minneapolis, Milan, Flint, Paris, Los Angeles.

“My teachers are everywhere,” she said, “everywhere. Most wouldn’t recognize me.”

Look at all peoples actions as teachings today for your own spiritual work. What are you learning? What wisdoms are arising about you…about your teachers?

Chipping away that which is not you…

Michaelangelo was given a massive block of marble to sculpt his famous statue, David. For two years through rain and shine Michaelangelo sculpted. How did he create this masterpiece?

By chipping away that which was not David…

You are your own sculptor. What actions arise when you ask yourself:
•What needs to be chipped away in my life that is not me?
•When will I begin chipping?

(Remember we are doing this together!)
