"Lessons are not given, they are taken."  

                                                                     ~ Cesare Pavese  

If we find ourselves wanting to give someone some sort of lesson today,
thinking we know best, may we pause and ask for what we ourselves need to learn.

Then, may we make time to listen. Wisdom will answer.

If the need to teach others persists, may we model whatever it is we wish to share.

With love, humility, and compassion,
Charlene 

P.S. - Please know that this touchstone message is one that I myself am learning. All too often, in the past, I tried to give life lessons to others. But I am finally "getting it." At least now, I first ask, "May I offer...." before I share.

P.P.S. - Also, please know that everything expressed in Today's Touchstone is offered in that spirit, with reverence for the wisdom guiding you.
