When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Do you believe that?
Has that happened to you?
Perhaps we have to experience life or get centered or start listening before the teacher will arrive.
The teacher, as we all know can come in the form of a quote, blog, song, book, friend, article … Know what I mean?
Happily ... after retirement 
oh yeah, I know just what you mean!

Yes I do, and as I approach the 2nd half of my life, I find that I’m not only student most of the time, I’m also teacher. Understanding that for me to gain knowledge, I must pass on my wisdom. This is the archetype of the wizard.
I send you blessings along the path you follow.

Funny how when we let go and release our attachment and expectation – the ‘thing’ appears. It’s something we all know but tend to forget as we are so involved with our own ‘wanting’… So simple!

Hi Christopher,
I believe that timing plays a huge role in all this as you said. In this 2nd half of our lives we just know what’s important enough to focus on and what to let go of – the letting go allows it all to flow.
And like you, I continue to fill both roles – as student and teacher. It’s a nice place to be.
Thanks for your comments and for reading my blog! — Marge
