EVOLVING

Why?

Why did I not learn more before my children were born?

I could have been a teacher of awareness.

Observing all that is around them without identification.

No labels.

Pure consciousness of every object, person, plant, animal... all living things.

Instead of me teaching them....

They taught me.

Life’s suffering wheel taught me.

My wheel is so worn.

Can it still take me to my destination where I can bring them to a higher sense of consciousness and love?

Or did I fail them in this lifetime?

I pray I still have time.

Time for them to teach me.

To show me the stillness and beauty of our humanity.

I pause.

Each time my mind graces upon the convex image of them, I have a selfish gratitude well up inside me.

Teach me to gaze upon them

Without my ego, just as I would gaze upon a field of flowers.

To be one with them in peace.
