Robert Adams

Robert lacked the affectations of so many of those purporting to be teachers. He was, in the best sense of the term, an ordinary man.

He spoke of freedom from his own direct experience, rather than from some imagined image or pseudo-understanding. His words were direct, and pure without artifice. He was open and welcoming to all that occurred, including his own rather serious physical difficulties. Wonderful to see such freedom amidst bodily illness.

A nice quiet presence in the midst of the noise inside most folk. When he spoke it was not from some text or script or epiphany or knowledge, but from the heart. It seemed to me that he had nothing to gain or lose. I liked it very much that although his body was in distress he was not. Robert's attention never wavered - pure and still.

Very lovely, and a fine example of what is possible.
