My own BEW ( Blue Eyed Wonder) is a professor at the local university (LU?), and she just loves the teaching thing. She is so good at so many things but the one thing that really floats her boat is sharing what she knows in a way that the students can understand what she is talking about. They can then question and form opinions and make decisions and defend their positions about their decisions. Critical thinking is a great gift!. Part of her job also involves working with UMass Extension and Outreach but that is also teaching in many ways. We get to meet a whole bunch of different folks, working on many levels of earth care and sensible chemical use.

Some of us go “ugh” at the prospect of chemicals but how many of us use way to many antibiotics in your homes and then wash them down the sink to the water system? Or give the kids some antibiotics for an ear infection? A lesson from my BEW. It’s always a choice.

I love that great teachers just love to teach, and make people think. It is a special gift. Many blessings on all of the teachers

I spent time tonight in my dojo with my teacher. LIfe rocks! and then we meditate ( but no chanting, just breathing).
