Getting the F Out of the Way

There is someone local that has come to me to begin their spiritual path. In truth, it started long ago and I am just a weigh station. Today, I got out of her way and had her engage with someone else. That someone else is taking her places as I watch. 

There is a part of me that is proud that I got out of the way. There is another part screaming, "Hey but I wanted to do that!" This is the ego and pride and bullshit. 

I am suddenly aware why so many that want to call themselves teachers cannot do that. Fuck, it is hard to get that ego in check to the point that it cannot move. However, it is what this person deserves. She is on a path.
