I had been taking lessons for a few years (during which time I have been teaching), but as of recently, I am not anymore. I am just figuring out my next step(s) I guess.
I am open to studying very seriously with another teacher at some point, whatever form that takes. But, I have been realizing that each person's path to their own expertise is of course, highly individual. Nobody has been on anybody else's exact path before so nobody can lay out all of the footwork for another. To a large degree, it is very much up to the individual at a certain point to continue on.
I will not claim to have reached any particular level, that matters surprisingly little to me at the moment. What matters to me most is that I stay inspired, focused, and true to my highest sense of self. I am fully invested in my own desire to learn and grow and that will undoubtedly include a large array of other individuals and events.
