Love's Duty

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Obedience.
Have you ever heard the saying as follows: When the student is ready the teacher appears? This thought is representative of the beginning of a mentor / mentee relationship, but it does not go further to reveal what happens next, or what happens through the development of a mentor / mentee relationship. Through the relations we become an extension, if not a direct image both internally and externally of our superior, the mentor. Through this relationship, we also add our self, our own uniqueness to the teachings that we have learned, through the life lessons or training. 

     But we have also heard that sometimes the student will out learn the teacher. With the accumulations added from the teacher, and what else is learned throughout the journey. This is neither good or bad, but therein lies a test. How will you act, behave, think, with the accumulations of more? 

    A gain of more does not make you better or superior, in fact it is a compliment to those who have invested time, effort, energy, through the journey. Often rough, sometimes smooth. In fact it is here that we must remain in a state of thankfulness, acting in obedience to our superiors. This is the duty of those who have been blessed and honored with the giving / receiving of heart.

     Loves Duty
Mentor / mentee relations are more than about learning from one another, there is a promise to love, protect, honor in all circumstance, when one is going through adversity, or has overcome to gain the gifts from life. In all states the duty to love should be viewed with deep regard and honor. It's the greatest thing we'll ever learn. To give love, but also how to accept and receive love. 

My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :)
