when the student is ready...

... the teacher will appear.
a Buddhist proverb that I think really deserves a moment of contemplation.

there.

it's all about being ready for what may appear in front of us, what passes before us, or something that is said. obviously also in relation to this post...

I think one of the best examples of this is newton's apple story which got him to formulate the universal law of gravitation. since this happened in the 1660s, I can assure you that there had been plenty of apples falling, and plenty of people seeing them. but what happened? they just weren't ready to figure out what happened, and why.

what have you missed today?
