Some of these teachers we know and in a sense are not secret at all. Yet in many cases what they have to teach remains so. Some are not so well known, indeed, are hardly known at all. One can be a secret teacher in the sense of being unknown, but one can also be a secret teacher in the sense that what you teach is secret, hidden, obscured, or perhaps in some cases, even purposely disguised.

Sundown all around
Walking through the summer’s end
Waves crash, baby, don’t look back
I won’t walk away again
Oh-oh-oh baby, anywhere you go
We are bound together
I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever
Circle in the sand, ’round and ’round
Never-ending love is what we’ve found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand (circle in the sand)
Circle in the sand (circle in the sand)
Cold wind, tide moves in
Shivers in the salty air
Day breaks, my heart aches
I will wait for you right here
Oh-oh-oh baby, when you look for me
Can you see forever?
I begin, baby, where you end
We belong together
Circle in the sand, ’round and ’round
Rising of the moon as the sun goes down
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand (circle in the sand)
Circle in the sand (circle in the sand)
Baby, can you hear me?
Can you hear me calling? (Can you hear me calling?)

Oh, I wanna be that complete

Look up, look down, all around

Oh, I,
I want to be with you everywhere

Birds fly in every direction

See no evil in all directions

For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we—not this crude matter.

Make believe I’m everywhere –
Given in the light
Written on the pages is the answer
to a never ending story
The Neverending Story (song)
The Neverending Story (film)

There’s no beginning and there is no end

It’s like a dream –
No end and no beginning

This is not the end,
this is not the beginning –
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Tell me your secrets,
and ask me your questions –
Oh, let’s go back to the start –
Running in circles, coming up tails –
Heads on a science apart

Rhymes that keep their
secrets will unfold behind the clouds –
And there upon the rainbow
is the answer to a never ending story
The Neverending Story (song)
The Neverending Story (film)

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
These loopy planetary orbits were hugely problematic for the ancient Greeks, because all the orbits were supposed to be circular according to Plato and his pupil Aristotle.
They declared that the circle, with its simplicity, beauty and lack of beginning or end, was the perfect shape, and since the heavens were the realm of perfection then celestial bodies had to travel in circles.

I don’t need to walk around in circles,
walk around in circles,
walk around in circles,
walk around in

There is water at the bottom of the ocean

There’s a time when every man
draws a line down in the sand
Now the verses I’ve sang
Don’t add much weight to the story in my head
So I’m thinking I should go and write a punchline
But they’re so hard to find in my cosmic mind
So I think I’ll take a look out of the window

Will you tell me what you saw,
and I’ll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky
You missed when time and life shook hands
and said goodbye
When the Earth folded in on itself

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
