The impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

Annie Dillard, The Writing Life (via arturo)

yes yes yes! a million times, yes!

every time you teach someone something or share something you know, you have strengthened your own understanding.

    I feel this way about writing and teaching ideas. It’s always about the kids. If it works then share.
