Mary Catherine Bateson quotes about
loss echoes identity
Every loss recapitulates earlier losses, but every affirmation of identity echoes earlier moments of clarity.
understanding looks metaphor
The family is changing not disappearing. We have to broaden our understanding of it, look for the new metaphors.
life teacher moving
In many ways, constancy is an illusion. After all, our ancestors were immigrants, many of them moving on every few years; today we are migrants in time. Unless teachers can hold up a model of lifelong learning and adaptation, graduates are likely to find themselves trapped into obsolescence as the world changes around them. Of any stopping place in life, it is good to ask whether it will be a good place from which to go on as well as a good place to remain.
