...rumors, rumors....who knows! I read the book and
took the course work. To me, it doesn't matter what
his job was 'back home'; he was an inspired, enlightened
man, willing to teach the wisdom he found.
Anyway, I would imagine being a plumber would make one
rather...ah...grounded! In the same way cleaning out
my cats litter box keeps me grounded! HA!
The world can easily do without a whole lot of managers,
academicians. The world today CAN'T survive without
garbage collectors and/or plumbers. God(dess) bless them!
Hugs,
Adele
