There is an old African proverb that states that Antelope walk together in pairs in order to blow the dust from one another's eyes. I was listening to a CD from the SDI seminar in which a speaker mentioned that this was a perfect metaphor for what Spiritual Directors do. We don't direct anyone. Instead, we journey beside a person helping them remove the dust, in order to see more clearly what was already there. And we are all Spiritual Directors for one another.

a very Buddhist perspective ... we need purification to blow the dust away from the reality of who we are. this is a very useful 'definition' of enlightenment! :-)
What a great analogy Roberta!
Awesome – I will try to remember that!
Thanks.
