Not only was Jesus a great teacher, but even more so, He was a very attentive student who seemed to have always looked at His surroundings one way... "spiritually." All of my life, all I ever wanted to be was a great teacher, but never was I a very good student. I walked away from college at Arkansas State University in my very first semester after turning in a creative writing essay to my English professor. I remember it like it was yesterday. On the second day of class, my professor said to her students, "I read some good and I read some not so good papers, but there was one that stood out above all the others. And this particular composure is a prime example of what NOT to do in my college creative writing course." Of course, she was referring to me. I literally could've crawled under my desk and died right then and there due to the embarrassment and public humiliation that I experienced that day. Needless to say, never did I return to her class. From that very moment, my life took a dramatic turn in the wrong direction. And after a 33-year onslaught of an extensive and profound drug and alcohol addiction, the following 19 chapters of spiritual poetry were composed. This memoir is my melody. May it be music to thy ears. But most of all, may it bring ye an understanding of many things, and teach the ones that choose to partake of this overflowing cup to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS stay a student. "May the Spirit of the Lord touch the deepest parts of your very soul, and may you be blessed with a great understanding of the Oneness of it all as we embark upon this spiritual journey together." Amen
