Sr Joan does a lovely job today of helping us see the role of others in our lives.
"Why do you need teachers?" the visitor asked a disciple.
"Because,' the disciple answered, "if water must be boiled it needs a vessel between the fire and itself."
Hold this metaphor gently in your hand...now...think about someone in your life that has always been there to guide, shelter, and shape.
There is no going through life alone. We need wisdom figures ... teachers, fine parents and mentors, tender husbands and gentle wives, good friends ... who listen to us as much as we listen to them....
