Do you have a craving to learn what you do not know? Looking for a teacher, looking to be taught about these things you do not know and then learning them. Wondering where to find your answers to your questions?
To then learn that you can find a teacher in anyone, in nature, from the animal kingdom, from books, from The Torah, from a search you do to enlighten yourself to achieve the greatest of heights. To learn of the magic of Jacob's Ladder and to slide on it like a kid's slide to go from up to down, and then back up again.
To be on a carousal horse holding onto a pole and going around and around, watching The Price Is Right and winning every time, winning in your own home as you enjoy your TV set. The game of Candy Land and Shoots and Ladders. The Old Bachelor Game, a choice in The Dating Game to date the bum or the handsome prince! To think it is the handsome prince who is who you have but finding out he is the frog, not a prince at all.
Learning that it is all about entering a house by the front door, unless the pot of gold on the rainbow is from the backdoor. Putting the gold in the back and giving it only to the poor. The poor who must humble himself to these rules and to enter a backdoor against his will. Sharing the gold in the pot and spending your pension long into your future life, a life without a worry of where to live, who will be your cook, when you will get your next meal.
To know something someone else does not. To take pride in this know-how and to be discrete on who to share it with, if anyone, and why.
To be the ice cream topping on a cone and to welcome lickers of the ice cream to taste the goodness you taste. To be a fountain of chocolate pouring over the ice cream, sprinkling whipped cream and ground nuts.
If it is a teacher who you seek, you are probably equipped to be that teacher, someone who others would benefit from, the one with the answers. It is because you are the one with the questions!
Keep asking, keep creating, work in the day and not the night. Pray, praise and thank God, and slide up and down Jacob's Ladder for sheer fun.
A life in an amusement park training the lions. To yourself be the lion who lays down with the lamb who you love.
