If we want to learn, then we must open our eyes to the things all around us that are inviting us to enlightenment.  If we want to learn, then we must be willing to seek out the right teachers and not waste time with teachers of idleness that we often allow to come into our existence.

The greatest learning comes from walking through life together.  It is the simple conversations while sitting in the cool shade of the big tree, or the quiet invocations while sitting on a rock by a running stream.  When you decide that you want to see, then it is amazing what you see, simply by walking and looking through life.

The animals, plants, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes and ocean all communicate truth that will set us free.  The sun, stars and moon tell us things that take us to places that we could never take ourselves.  There is limitless variety in this world and it is all provided to guide us on our journey.

The wise teacher understands that making a student see is not education, instead they provide the opportunity to see and the student in seeing is learning.  We do not learn from words or ritual, we learn best from observation and participation.

Live, travel and walk in the steps of the teachers that have been provided for you.  Learn in this moment, what the Creator has for you to learn.  Open your eyes and see all that is around you.  See what can’t be seen and learn the secrets that make life amazing.

We are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Our spirituality does not come through a teacher, we are spiritual with or without a teacher.  The right teacher simply provides us with opportunity for better understanding and application.

Open your eyes and trust what you see!

We know the way that we need to go, but we are not willing to follow it.  We think about it, we start, but we never end up following through.  Doubt finds its way into our thinking and interferes with our traveling forward.

If we are to make it through the flood and famine, earthquakes and hurricanes, monsoons and droughts of loneliness, fear and depression, then we must stay on the path and follow it wherever it intends on taking us.

Good and bad are a part of our life.  If we turn around at the first encounter of bad, then we will miss the good that lies just beyond it.  What good is it to walk in circles?  You have a path and what you are going to encounter on the path cannot be avoided, for each of us must eventually face and deal with whatever our path has for us to face and deal with.

You will exhaust yourself, if you try to do this on your own.  The reason we encounter bad on the path of life is to teach us, grow us, develop us into the special creation that we were created to be.  Follow the path that has been marked out for you, it is your friend and will take you to amazing places of genuine happiness…

I am a simple man, a little bit country, but with some different forms of education.  My views on life have grown out of walking through mountains of challenge and valleys of loss.  I love the outside and I am not afraid of hard work, in fact, I enjoy manual labor, because I find that it often frees the mind to travel to amazing places.  As I have journeyed through this life, I have found and I am finding that there is an order to life and living.  The sun rises and sets.  The moon goes through its phases.  The earth grows, the tides come in and go out and the seasons change.  I have seen the miracle of death and been a witness to the dignity of death.  I have been touched by thousands of lives and in return have been blessed by having my life touch thousands as well.

I love the night, when the darkness falls and the star’s light up the sky.  One of my favorite things to do, is sit by a fire and share life with those that are interested.  I enjoy painting a picture with words that help to express what I think and what I feel inside.  I have discovered that the best lessons for me to share are the ones that I have learned from my very own personal experience.  Life is movement and is greater and more vast than anything our human minds can imagine.

We are all runners on a path, the path is life and it is taking us to a place called eternity.  There is much for us to learn and so much for us to gain.  I cannot know everything and this is a good thing, because it means that there will always be something for me to learn.  My path is in front of me and so I will run and see where it will take me.
