Book excerpt: In all of our learning, in all of our teaching, may we each be given the ability to see all things as they truly are: the lifework of our Creator. Within all there is lies an eternal law, a living movement, and a spiritual essence that is one with the heart of God. Just as the work of art demonstrates the inner expression of the artist, just as the child shares the flesh and blood of their parents, so the world around us is God's glorious expression of love. Education is nothing but the awakening of this reality for child and teacher alike. Fads and systems come and go, but there is only one truth in this world and our goal should be to find the simplest, most practical way possible to illuminate it. The great paradox is that children are far more in touch with it than we are. In fact, the way is so simple that only a child could see it!
