I am learning how people, even if only for the briefest of moments, weave into our lives as teachers and mentors. I’ve learned that a true teacher often goes unacknowledged in her or his own time. Yet, as part of the human family, we are connected and this knowledge lives on in the collective unconscious.

Like roots, to flowers, to seeds… the story is one of interconnected humanity, not the individual. We are never alone.
