Some Reflection Quotations

Several students have asked me to post the quotes I have been using during our reflection sessions. (FYI -- we've done whole-group written, then discussion reflections, on Mon and Wed evening and will again on Friday; Tues and Thurs afternoons I've offered optional sessions). So here they are -- for them, and for you, to chew upon.

• "If you have come to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bout up with mine, then let us work together."
  -- an Aboriginal Australian woman

• We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
