I see from Stuart Davis's blog, that he has made the decision to choose a teacher (if he will be accepted of course!)

This is a good post.  Like a lot of Westerners, especially the intellectual types, the idea of a spiritual teacher can work, but only if the "teacher" is a teacher like the ones who teach at college.  Or perhaps (the view that works for me) having an "apprentice" type of situation.  This particular post reflects a lot of the avoidance, resistance, trepidation, and hope that anyone feels when thinking about having a spiritual teacher.  It is useful to go read the post, and see what arises in you around the idea.
My own experiences in this dance have been disappointing, to say the least.  But I wish all all those who wish to be born fully into self-realization - may you find the teachers you need to complete the journey!

Reader adrenalin was gracious enough to post as a comment, a very elegant poem, and I reproduced it below, as adrenalin's own post, which I encourage any readers out there to read.  Thanks again.

While I am still getting this blog up to speed, the feature of "honored guest" will become more prominent, as I learn more and more the capabilities of this blogging software.  This particular site isn't my personal site (purposely very little of "me" is featured, outside of my take on integral subjects) but much more devoted to pragmatic integral practice, and various insightful perceptions, comments, loves and inspirations on this passionate journey of the heart and mind.

By reader adrenalin:

On the tip of my tongue sits a silent ecstasy
always on the verge of breaking out
but never quite aware of itself:
chanting mindful melodies
and colouring the cities of dust
with rainbow anecdotes
Most of the time its tininess is not revealed
realization blocked in gridlocked thought-traffic
but still it's ready any time,
any moment, ready to jump and turn myself
inside out
outside in
blowing out all pain and misery
bowing gratefully to gifts returned
offering all suffering to the whirling winds
merging with a mirrored mind behind the moon
receiving dreams from the stars
and memorizing the sun's sacred rays
by draining conciousness of every concept
and knowing anything by heart
no need to search anymore
the marriage of World and Witness
is celebrated by my seeker's steps
