Spiritual Beingness in Training!
We are all a work in progress. My experience is that everything and everyone is a teacher. It has been a joy to receive the assistance of others along the Path and to offer some as well. The insights that have touched my heart are shared with those who resonate. Fearless engagement is the Path that calls me. It is a dance with the edge of enlightenment and an occasional collapse into the void of compassion and bliss.
My name is Donna Mitchell-Moniak. Much of my work related to consciousness is given through Spirit Fire, online and on-location. Daily online meditations are FREE and accessible live or by podcast. Videos are on YouTube. Spirit Fire Retreat Center hosts some of our residential programs and client group retreats. It is in the beauty and serenity of Leyden, MA.
You have a wonderful blog. I will keep returning for more.

Every night you fight sleep
As if you’re life depended on it.
Weeping wildly
For every moment
You will miss.
As if each were the love
Of a lifetime.
I like a coward retreat into
Slumber quite willingly.
My child you are the Teacher
and I am your disciple.
When did I give up fighting sleep?

Many blessings. I am smiling, full of gratitude. This was a lesson in attachment:
Playing blocks
Together we build blocks
Piling them high as possible.
Then you push them over and laugh.
I balk.
Awkwardly I am already attached.
That stack of colourful wooden pieces had already become an extension of my identity.
In a moment you’ve built another and
knocked it down again.
Laughing with delight.
I meditate for hours and don’t even come close to that level of non-attachment.
Your are enlightened.

The link below will lead you to the post. The two works are the beginnings of a work to be published next year. The working title is “Eyes of a child”. In my judgment we are surrounded by young enlightened beings and we just need to observe and take heed. They need to teach us not the other way round. That is the fundamental premise for the work.

I think that idea is noble. Along that line, I created a thrust for classes and retreats for mothers to be about the precious life in their womb. To goal is to bring back the sacredness of mothering. Once that gets going then I would hook up with a father of similar ideas and create retreats and programs for fathers.
I agree with you completely about who is teaching whom. Maybe in a couple of years I’ll be in touch with you about the “father” gig. !!
