I dreamed I stood in a studio and watched two
sculptors there. The clay they used was a young child’s mind and
they fashioned it with care. One was a teacher – the tools he used
were books, music, and art. The other, a parent, worked with a
guiding hand, and a gentle, loving heart. Day after day, the
teacher toiled with touch that was deft and sure, while the parent
labored by his side and polished and smoothed it o’er. And when at
last their task was done they were proud of what they had wrought,
for the things they had molded into the child could neither be
sold or bought. And each agreed they would have failed if each had
worked alone. For behind the parent stood the school and behind
the teacher, the home.
