Re: 'Write it' seems to be the most powerful way

Fledgling,

You have raised excellent points and examples! I agree with you in saying:

"It's almost as if there is a 'season', for each...when the student is ready."

I think we all have the inherrent ability, knowledge, capacity etc to make these steps forward in consciousness. It simply speeds the process when we have teachers or role models, no matter how small.

As an example, I am often amazed how the seemingly smallest things can turn my day around for the positive if I let them. A smile from a stranger, a random act of kindness - that I may simply witness and am not really a part of - an answer to a question that seems to pop up out of nowhere, when you can see someone experiencing joy. I have also been amazed to find out years later how a seemingly insignificant act of kindness of mine influenced others in the past and it is still part of them today. I can only hope my negative acts haven't had the same staying power!

I now accept the power of small things and endevour to recognize the positive experiences which are so easily created. :)
