This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 10, 2008:
I have twin lighthouses.
Through their integrity and friendship i grow.
They are not teachers.
Yet i learn.
Learning relationship, learning friendship.
From one, i learn the lesson i remember my zen master sharing years ago,
"How to love without touching..."
How to be a lighthouse for someone else with no expectation of "getting" anything from them.
From the other beacon, I learn how to turn on my inner lighthouse
and shine light on the sneaky ways of ego, that keep me from being fully present.
In fact, both of my lighthouse friends help me on the way to being Present.
I'm grateful to have encountered such lighthouses in the stormy waters.

Lovely blog, I believe without expectation is the best way to give. Hugs.
