如今，我终于变回我自己｜书安·荐书《教学勇气——漫步教师心灵》

“那天我怀着感激的心情走进教室，感激又一个教书的机会，因为教学滋养着我的心灵，在我所知的任何工作中，教学对心灵最有意义。” ——(美)帕克·帕尔默

下面是第一章开头引用的诗歌原文：

Now I Become Myself

by May Sarton

Now I become myself. It's taken

Time, many years and places;

I have been dissolved and shaken,

Worn other people's faces,

Run madly, as if Time were there,

Terribly old, crying a warning,

"Hurry, you will be dead before--"

(What? Before you reach the morning?

Or the end of the poem is clear?

Or love safe in the walled city?)

Now to stand still, to be here,

Feel my own weight and density!

The black shadow on the paper

Is my hand; the shadow of a word

As thought shapes the shaper

Falls heavy on the page, is heard.

All fuses now, falls into place

From wish to action, word to silence,

My work, my love, my time, my face

Gathered into one intense

Gesture of growing like a plant.

As slowly as the ripening fruit

Fertile, detached, and always spent,

Falls but does not exhaust the root,

So all the poem is, can give,

Grows in me to become the song,

Made so and rooted by love.

Now there is time and Time is young.

O, in this single hour I live

All of myself and do not move.

I, the pursued, who madly ran,

Stand still, stand still, and stop the sun!

“优秀教学不能被降格为技术，优秀教学源自教师的自身认同和自身完善。”
