What is a teacher ?
To mind of flint, the teacher must be iron, and strike sparks. To the empty pitcher, the teacher becomes a well. To the fallow mind, a planter of seeds. To the cluttered mind, a gardener to weed, shape, and clear a space for growing.
To the lens, the teacher is light, and to the mind of light, a lens.
To all, the teacher is a mirror that shows not only the self but the path and its choices, the task and its demands—the difficulties, the joys.
