To Be
"All teachers must face the fact that they are potential points of reference. The greatest challenge a teacher has is to accept is the courage to be; if we are, we make mistakes; we say too much where we should have said nothing; we do not speak where a word might have made all the difference. If we are, we will make terrible errors. But we still have the courage to struggle on, trusting our own points of reference to show us the way."
"I have more hope that someone who has shouted, 'Stop the world, I want to get off!' can get back on and enjoy the ride than someone who wants more cushions."
Madeleine L'Engle Circle of Quiet
