How To Leave Your Teacher

Fuzzy Red Boots
In my life, I have had many teachers, people who took me from the point where we met to guide me to critical turning points; where everything I knew about myself had to be forged in fire that either it dissolved, evaporated within the intensity of the fire of the cosmic chaos that birthed it, or it integrated its essence into my core, granting the sense of a perfect rebirth of soul and body, tempering a quality of Consciousness within me so profound that all I could do afterwards was move forward with ineffable strength and grace.
