Mentors and apprentices are partners in an ancient human dance, and one of teaching's great rewards is the daily chance it gives us to get back on the dance floor. It is the dance of the spiraling generations, in which the old empower the young with their experience and the young empower the old with new life, reweaving the fabric of the human community as they touch and turn.

When I understand this liability as a trade-off for my strengths, something new and liberating arises within me. I no longer want to have my liability fixed —by learning how to dance solo, for example, when no one wants to dance with me—for to do that would be to compromise or even destroy my gift.
