Read in September, 2011

One to add to the re-read pile.

One of those books that I highlighted just about every other paragraph.

I need to reread too, as if I attempt to do a roundup of the content, it's going to sound too abstract, but it's not heady stuff at all. Rather, it is an eloquent inquiry into "obedience of truth", what it means to educate and to be educated, that to love is "to know" and "to know" is to love. That it is about asking questions and inciting an inner fire, not about authoritarian objectivism or subjective "everyone has their own truth" relativism.

Have read a number of books by Parker Palmer and most are OK, a few were good, but this was an extraordinary read.
