		<description>People make good teachers in our lives - ones we like, and ones we are not so fond of.

Extreme experiences are too. My Big Bad Brain Injury has probably been one of the greatest teachers in my life. I think I appreciated being disabled before, in a way, but not like I do now - having spent time not being able to do so many physical things (like, move my left arm, stand and walk, etc.)  that I could take for granted now. 

And while I am still mildly mentally challenged, it&#039;s nothing like not being able to sustain memory one second to the next, to string together a chain of awareness.

I was just thinking hunger is a teacher, in a way. Kind of funny though - I have &quot;lost&quot; that feeling with my brain injury. I remember something about feeling a sharp almost pain in my stomach when &#039;hungry&#039;, but I have felt nothing like that since June of &#039;89 when I was injured. Hunger is a great teacher though; as is eating, being fed. You can take that metaphorically all over as well.

I&#039;ll leave with Dick Cheney &amp; George Bush are wonderful teachers of mine too! Not sure just what I&#039;m learning from them I don&#039;t already know,  but those 2 and others of their ilk annoy &amp; challenge me more than about anyone I can think of. Maybe they&#039;re supposed to teach me patience &amp; compassion.

cheers,

		<description>We need to ask questions of torment, harass, confound, or upset, who is are teacher? what it teaches? when does it teach us? why does it teach us? This I think is where I can reflect on my teachers.

On the side did you mean confrontation or confounds?</description>

		<description>we are here FOR the contrasts--that&#039;s why we are here!  When you know what you don&#039;t want, you launch the clearest desire of what you do want--and if we can just focus intentionally, deliberatly  on that--oh my oh my, if  we can just focus on what we want, the laws of the universe part heaven and earth to work their magic for us!</description>

		<description>Yes indeed wise brother--and why? Because we are always a vibrational match to that which we are receiving.  If we are not likeing what we are receiveing (manifesting)  then the operative question has to be: what am I thinking about you that is keeping me from resonating as I truly know I am?  The ONLY answer to this question HAS to be that you are thinking something that has created a vibrational discord.  Knowing you are ultimately in control of this, all the world is both your playground and your teacher!</description>

		<description>Often times, we learn a lot more from people/situations that we don&#039;t like, then things we do.  So we should appreciate everything. :-)</description>

		<description>This blog today seemed to resonate with me more than any other to date.  I have many people, both good and bad, in my life who serve as teachers.  They all have those characteristics from which I learn and progress beyond to better myself on this journey.  Thanks for the reminder that no matter who they are, or when they come into my life, they all serve as teachers and help me become, well, a better me.

Love you Dave - thanks so much - J</description>

		<description>This &quot;love yourself for who you are&quot; seems to be the overall theme  of this blog.  Dream.  Imagine.  Do.  Explore.  Life is an adventure.  Live it up!  Sometimes life stings, but after the sting comes the tingle:)

BTW, it&#039;s not the size of your penis that counts.  It is the orgasm.  That&#039;s the stuff!  And, it pleasure intensity factor is determined in no small part by the state of your mind.</description>

		<description>I am so glad for Jessica, I have an aunt that is going through the same surgery and being there and just supporting her through the process was such a joy. She lights up everyday to know that she is better-ing herself for a much longer life, and it is very pleasing to know when people are there for you when you go through such big turning points in your life...
Dave you are really a great friend.</description>

		<description>I read something 20 years ago which hit me like a 2x4 on the back of the head.  It was written by Confucius:  &quot;If you see a man who is wise, emulate him.  If you see a man who is not, examine yourself.&quot;  I still love it.</description>
