• If we turn away from our sexual passion, then we freeze and beings are harmed. If we grab it, then we are burned and beings are harmed.

• I like to remind teachers that even though they're all overwhelmed and overloaded, and it's easy to get burned out, it really is about the kids.

So never lose sight - you could be that teacher.

And when the pain is greatest is often when we're on the brink of the greatest realization.....When the pain is burned through rather than numbed, when our darkness is brought to light and then forgiven, then and only then can we move on. And move on we do.
