Sensible Schooling

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"When the student is ready, the teacher appears."... Tao saying

Real wisdom comes from out-smarting, out-wrestling, or out-living whatever brings us to our knees and makes us doubt our almost magical ability to survive. How can we learn to thrive if any ole' stiff wind can knock us down? Life contains all kinds of weather, knowing how to endure any climate takes practice. Lessons are hard won... yet impossible to forget.

And there is an almost perfect balance between what we need to know and what life suddenly tosses our direction. Most times that may be of little comfort, yet it eventually earns a sweet sense of being just where we should be at any given time of our journey. Whenever we need to learn it most... the lesson really is there; once we know this to be true the learning becomes so much easier.

Why fight the knowing? Once you admit how senseless it is to waste time and energy struggling against the inevitable it's much quicker as well as less painful to learn even the hardest of lessons. It just makes good sense to suppose that a willing student would naturally gain understanding at an accelerated pace. It makes even better sense to figure that the faster the knowing, the shallower the wound... the shorter the ache, the fainter the scar. Why don't you... think about it... let it ride... then decide!!!
