I've been unbelievably lucky running into so many talented, kind, and generous teachers. When the student is ready the teacher will appear? I must have been good and ripe, because they've been appearing everywhere. In yoga studios, on tree limbs, streaking across skies, in subway trains, and with refreshing frequency in the fairy-dusted forests of Montana. My teachers nudge me to hit the reset button whenever I get a little (or a lot) lost. My gratitude for them is ginormous.

I am especially grateful for this (thanks, Erich).  The Three Sentences.
