Teachable Moments

They're out there--those teachable moments.

The true master realizes that they know nothing and that they have everything to learn from their students.

Things that happen, that just sort of pop up and remind us of why we love something, these teachable moments It could be in the classroom or the proverbial schools and halls of life, but by living in each moment, moment to moment trying to just really be, amazing things seem to happen when the guard goes down. And I did not miss the pun of teach-able--but I beleive that the essence of this word lives in the "Able," the ability to be want to teach, to teach and most importantly, to be able to be taught. To be able to sit down across from another human being, occupying practically the same space, breathing the same air, and simply let yourself learn by just being there with them. It takes a great amount of patience, courage and attention to be able to just be with someone else, let along understand that you have libraries of education to learn from them. And they're all teachers, just as we are all students.

A new lesson each day.
