Dear One,
Where ever you find yourself in the day or evening, remember that now is your time for being fully alive, fully present to both yourself and the process of educating our young. Pause.
Breathe richly inward. Release any thoughts constrict or limit your fullest sense of Being. Continue the ebb and flow of breath and release. Draw sacred nourishment deeply within. Allow that Spark of Presence -the One who is you- to fill the space of your awareness.
Allow growing awareness of who you intend to be through those essential qualities of wisdom, order, and strength. Experience how your qualities can harmonize and balance the world around you here and now. Bring this way of Being into the world of children learning now the ways of the world, Breathe this very way of Being into the world children inhabit ... that of classrooms, schedules, curriculum, and standards. Know that your True Present Being becomes the way learners may well experience their wholeness above all else that might seem diminishing, illusive, of ignorance, error and discouragement. Know that one secure presence is all it takes for a child to sense the greater truth available in the world inhabited in any here and now.
In gratitude now, relish your adult capacity to Be the One Present. Enjoy such presence, moment to moment. Your eyes, your smile, your firm and caring tone, your hands, and your movements are all ways you express such presence. Know this and rejoice. And so it is!
With love,Professor and Friend - Heidi
