Life's Teachers

Two very important teachers of mine have recently moved on. One of them was in my life for several years and the other for only a few months but both helped me to understand and experience my life with much deeper awareness. When they were gone it was a challenge to let go. I was sure there was so much more I could learn from them. Then it dawned on me...maybe it wasn't so. Could it be that they were in my life for exactly the right amount of time? Could it be that they provided me with the perfect preparation I needed in order to recognize and receive my new teachers? ...Now I'm sure of it.
