Parallels

This will not be about geometry, I solemnly promise. All I remember about taking the class was

our "ready to retire" teacher telling us daily that we were the dumbest class he ever had. Perhaps if he'd spent more time teaching us, we'd have understood it a little better.

Instead this is about opportunity presenting itself when we are open to acting upon it.

While we were visiting Iowa, we went to see the lovely farm where they filmed Field of Dreams. You remember-----"If you build it, they will come."

And yesterday I read a Swedish proverb which says, "Those who wish to sing, always find a song."

And last week I read this Buddhist saying; "When the student is ready, the master appears."

All this redundant advice has me wondering what I should be seeking to learn next! So I'm keeping a listening ear, and a sharp watch for the next learning or serving that I should do.

Feel free to make suggestions and comments.
