Teacher and student, teacher or student
My idea today is simple but feels powerful. The entire life is like a dance where we switch both these roles interchangeably being teachers and students. Another pattern of life I really find excitement at noticing and observing are circles. Life is also a dance of circles that are meant to be completed at some pint. Teacher, student, circles... What am I talking about really?
I'll take an example just to be more grounded: relationships - whether an intimate, romantic, or another type of close relationship we find ourselves in, we are a reflection of the other person, the other person is a reflection of us, it's like two mirrors, but we usually are not aware of the reflection. And sometimes we take the role of a teacher in a relationship, reflecting life lessons, some wisdom, or things the other person needs to learn and upgrade in and from the interaction that is happening. Well, sometimes we are the students learning our lessons in a variety of ways. So we go full circle with our interchangeable roles and lessons that we are giving and taking. The teacher in every situation, even in the literal role of a teacher learns from the student. The student is learning and unaware that is teaching the teacher. The teacher is teaching and is learning the art of teaching through the student at the same time. This is one of the most beautiful circles possible. Somehow everyone is equal and equally a beneficiary in each case.
Everyone has a gift to give and receive. Everyone bows in sign of respect and gratitude to each other, because this grand show of life, whether in the literal or metaphorical meaning is the ultimate school where we teach and are taught with masterful choreography.

This says it all. Very nicely explained, thank you Eriona for this beautiful symbol that can be read in so many different levels of understanding. Anxhela nga Korca xxx
