The subjects we teach are large and complex as life…The students we teach are larger than life and even more complex. But there is another reason for these complexities: we teach who we are. Teaching, like any truly human activity, emerges from one’s inwardness, for better or worse. As I teach, I project the condition of my sould onto my students, my subject, and our way of being together.
— Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach
