Parker J. Palmer Quotes

Good Teaching Is An Act Of Hospitality Toward The Young, And Hospitality Is Always An Act That Benefits The Host Even More Than The Guest. The Concept Of Hospitality Arose In Ancient Times When This Reciprocity Was Easier To See: In Nomadic Cultures, The Food And Shelter One Gave To A Stranger Yesterday Is The Food And Shelter One Hopes To Receive From A Stranger Tomorrow. By Offering Hospitality, One Participates In The Endless Reweaving Of A Social Fabric On Which All Can Depend - Thus The Gift Of Sustenance For The Guest Becomes A Gift Of Hope For The Host. It Is That Way In Teaching As Well: The Teacher's Hospitality To The Student Results In A World More Hospitable To The Teacher.
