Article about meeting Wayne

"I have always had a really strong affection for the word 'teacher'. As a child I saw the film, The Miracle Worker, about the deaf and blind woman, Helen Keller, and her meeting with the woman who was to have the most profound effect on her life. The powerful climactic scene has remained with me..."   READ MORE of this beautifully written article by Paul Stack.

 

Letters to Wayne

April 2011

Whenever I get in a tight spot in my head - most often guilt or some self-criticism - your words from a weekend retreat in Portland, "I'm not doing a God Damned thing!" never fail to offer comfort. Ha!

The Teaching as you present it, is the most direct and simple for me....I've read Enlightenment Is Not What You Think again --- it got me through a rough week!

Thank you

A

September 2010

You seem to move into every situation and yet never leave a trace.

I am continually amazed at the way this part of the story has moved. To say I feel lucky to have met you is an absurd understatement.

Soooo much love.

Poetry

 

March 2011

DEAREST

I do not think I can
Explain with words THAT
which is bigger than I.
I can only say that I left
the retreat with the kind of
Love and Gratitude that one
usually feels when there
has been an encounter with
GRACE

WHEN YOU ENTER

He walks in the room and my heart explodes.
Tears in streams wash away my well placed makeup.
A mist separates me. Surrounds me.
Peace.
My mind wonders,
“What must others be thinking about my obvious response to him.”

So I pull myself together.
Look around, make up questions
When all I want is to remain still in the mist
The cocoon he brings to the room
Not hear questions or answers
Dissolve into that which I find myself;

When You enter.
