Well you know the saying, "When the student is ready the teacher will appear."....it is true. At first, life itself is the teacher. And when an "event" *event*ually breaks the shell of the egg, a little light shines in prompting you to investigate further -- like a chick trying to get out of the egg. And when you're out, you see someone's been tending to you all along.
Now let's just hope it's an animal lover and not a farmer. ;-)
