FASCINATION WITH TEACHER

© 2009 Howard McQueen

We are magnetically/energetically drawn to those
that hold the unfolding of our experience.

They hold pointers,
both negative and positive charges,
to guide us deeper into suffering,
as well as into our own central expression of Oneness.

We sense in them a talent,
they seemingly ply so well to their trade.
Deep inside, this gift has yet to blossom in us,
still timid, slightly shy, somewhat afraid.

Clean teachers wake us more directly to our potential calling.
Messy teachers do the same, adding on their own luggage,
their own wild goose chase.
If susceptible, we chase their geese for awhile,
in order to learn the deeper lessons.

There are no mistakes
There are no sins.
There can be emergence and clear seeing from the
smoke and smog of our self delusions.

Teach the truth of clear seeing.
Walk the walk, talk the vocabulary
of your very best,
work-in-process Truths.
