The Love We Run Away From

A student expresses gratitude for a moment of deep recognition, and the teacher reflects on how the beauty we encounter is our own love.

I appreciate so much what you shared. It was so beautiful, because it carried that piece of reality. It was great.

The beauty is overwhelming, and it's our own love that we run away from. It's the love that we are.

The recognition that takes years to land

Many years ago, someone spoke to me about this fear and pain, and at the time it was so far away from me. Being here and being there over so many years, I couldn't understand anything. But obviously many things have happened to me since then. I'm so glad, because I still have what I wrote down at the time. When I reread it, I couldn't grasp any of it, because what happened to me through working with you was so different. I realized: this is a great gift from God.

Amen. I'm so honored. I've been feeling really grateful lately, blessed by life. So many things are happening, so many people going through transformation, and sometimes it amazes me. I am amazed. It is so beautiful to share with you. It's such a pleasure, for all of us. Thank you so much for coming.
