More From Sam Rayburn

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

We're looking at the singular condition of poverty. all the other individual problems spring from that condition... doesn't matter if it's death, aid, trade, aids, famine, instability, governance, corruption or war. all of that is poverty. our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself.

I know that my race must change. we cannot hold our own with the white men as we are. we only ask an even chance to live as other men live. we ask to be recognized as men. we ask that the same law shall work alike on all men. if an indian breaks the law, punish him by the law. if a white man breaks the law, punish him also.

It is precisely when you are loved a lot that you might realize a second loneliness which is not to be solved but lived. this second loneliness is an existential loneliness that belongs to the basis of our being. it's where we are unfulfilled because only god can fill us.

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.

They called themselves the souls. they told ms. olinski that they were the souls before they were a team, but she told them that they were a team as soon as they became the souls. then after a while, teacher and team agreed that they were arguing chicken-or-egg. whichever way it began--chicken-or-egg, team-or-the souls--it definitely ended with an egg. definitely, an egg.

My real purpose in telling middle-school students stories was to practice telling stories. and i practiced on the greatest model of storytelling we've got, which is "the iliad" and "the odyssey." i told those stories many, many times. and the way i would justify it to the head teacher if he came in or to any parents who complained was, look, i'm telling these great stories because they're part of our cultural heritage. i did believe that.

Teaching, therefore, asks first of all the creation of a space where students and teachers can enter into a fearless communication with each other and allow their respective life experiences to be their primary and most valuable source of growth and maturation. it asks for a mutual trust in which those who teach and those who want to learn can become present to each other, not as opponents, but as those who share in the same struggle and search for the same truth.
