Youthful inspiration

This is a shorter post, mainly just to touch on something very interesting that happened this past week.

There was a young boy—maybe 12 or 13—who visited Jon one afternoon recently, with who I think was his grandmother. He is interested in become an architect. His passion and insight for architecture was very blissful to watch. He was soaking in everything Jon had to offer for him, and he already knew quite a lot about various architects and different buildings he had seen that he particularly enjoyed.

It made me realize how much of a possibility it could be that I might be in a position to teach the principles of Vāstu to young, aspiring architects one day through Maharishi University of Management. I know Dr. Gorini mentioned offhandedly that Bevan (that's Dr. Bevan Morris, the President of the University) has been wanting an architecture program here for quite some time, and that maybe I'd be the person to establish that... I know that I still have quite a way to go in my own development, and that my own professional career and livelihood need to be intact before seriously considering something of that magnitude; but, I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little excited on some level for developing the opportunity to spread this branch of the Vedic literature through teaching other young, bright, and hopeful students its importance in society.

It was a pretty powerful moment. I don't want to put any carts before any horses though.
