LOOKING UP TO THE TEACHER
"In my sorrows, you touch my cheek with fingers that have known pain, and I bathe in the soothing, healing water of your soul
In my seekings, you clasp my hand with your hands and guide me with your eyes into the light of your seeing
And in all this you are with me, in my waking, in my sleeping and in your constant vigil is the signature of your love
Oh teacher, let me take refuge in your heart of freedom, and in the years we share work by your side
In the infinity of our linking I surrender, and rest graced with peace"
