Words that come from Teacher

Quiver with life

Touch us

Make us alive

To the world around us

We look up

Recognize our Guru

We are prepared

To walk with him

From darkness to light

  2. There have been so many people in the world that have set great examples for us and showing us what can be done despite such great difficulties and impairments. How good that you remind us of that.

  3. Marvelous movement from darkness to light, from located to vast and from known quantities to new words like magic wands full of life and spirit. You hold "Teacher" to a high standard here. Bravo! We should not settle for less.

  6. A good teacher can lead us to places we never knew we wanted to go or were capable of going. Helen Keller is an excellent example of both one who was taught and one who teaches.

  7. "to walk with him from darkness to light". We need every teacher in the world to use this line as motivation and mantra. The best ones do.

  16. This reminded me of an old folk song, "Follow me where I go, what I do, and what I know..." And you are so right about the light,
