The Principles of Teaching represents what I have learned about the
art of teaching over the course of my thirty year career. The
principles I include in the book are meant to be both a practical
guide and an inspiration to teachers who are just entering the
profession. I also believe teachers at any stage of their career
may find this book useful.

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - SOMETHING there is that doesn't love
a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the
upper boulders in the sun; And makes gaps even two can pass
abreast. The work of hunters is another thing: I have come after
them and made repair Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding, To please the yelping
dogs. The gaps I mean, No one has seen them made or heard them
made, But at spring mending-time we find them there. I let my
neighbour know beyond the hill; And on a day we meet to walk the
line And set the wall between us once again. We keep the wall
between us as we go. To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls We have to use a spell
to make them balance: "Stay where you are until our backs are
turned " We wear our fingers rough with handling them. Oh, just
another kind of out-door game, One on a side. It comes to little
more: There where it is we do not need the wall: He is all pine and
I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across And eat
the cones under his pines, I tell him.
Nancy Clark's life was transformed forever by a near-death and a
near-death-like experience that resulted in her passion to show us
that humans can experience the reality of their true, authentic
self - the self that is rooted in the divine and brimming with love
for all humanity. She has been researching spiritually
transformative experiences for thirty years and now in this
groundbreaking book, she has compiled diverse spiritually
transformative experiences happening to ordinary people today. The
experiences are varied and include near-death and near-death-like
experiences, out-of-body experiences, after-death communications,
spiritual awakenings, religious conversion experiences, meditative
and prayerful experiences, and mystical experiences. Learn how
these individuals awakened to a new understanding of their deepest
assumptions about the eternal questions: Why am I here? Where am I
going? What is the purpose of life? Learn how their inner wisdom
can assist all of us in understanding that we are more than
biological beings; we are spirits of consciousness that are gifted
with a love born of our divine nature.

LIM CNN HERO 2011 Ibu Robin Lim is committed as a poet, a midwife,
a mother, and as a global leader to living her life for love.
"Robin Lim is a woman of staggering energy, passion, goodness and
talent. Her poems take all four of those traits, and weave them
into wonder." -Elizabeth Gilbert "Robin Lim's poems are born from
the same womb as her devotion to midwifery. A womb that treasures
each life, even faced with its darkest questions. She enters the
world of words and of birth with equal humility, purpose, and a
profound care for humanity. Her poetic images are clear and
trenchant and they aim for the soul. Her language rises from a
notable forthrightness, and ripens with a crone's articulation. We
recognize: Yes, that is who we are. Yes, that is what frightens us.
Yes, that is what leads us toward love. With these poems, and with
her devotion to life, Lim is wise-on our behalf." -Margo
Berdeshevsky "Robin Lim is one of my heroes. Her dedication to
mothers, babies and the health of the planet family, is matched
only by her love of writing. In these pages you will feel the raw
emotion, passion, humor, hope and tenacity that fuels this great
woman warrior. I am certain that you too will discover that the
world is a brighter place with her in it." -Michael Franti
"On June 20, 1945, just before the end of the war, 123 American
bombers took off from the island of Guam for an attack on Shizuoka,
a Japanese city at the foot of Mount Fuji. The raid destroyed
two-thirds of the city, taking the lives of two thousand of its
citizens. Twenty-three American airmen also died when two of their
planes collided in mid-air. That these twenty-three men were enemy
soldiers mattered little to one Japanese person who buried their
remains next to the graves of the Shizuoka citizens killed in the
attack and erected a memorial for them there. Many years later, in
1971, another Shizuoka citizen learned of this. He began holding
his own ceremony beside the memorial, praying for the souls of the
twenty-three Americans each year on the Saturday closest to June
20. Though the two countries were once at war, the selfless action
of one Shizuoka citizen over sixty years ago has built a bridge
between the two countries, inspiring a campaign for peace among
Japanese and American citizens, and strengthening ties between the
two countries. Having campaigned for peace for many years, this
beautiful story strikes a deep chord with me. I hope it will become
more widely known around the world and inspire other people too."
Imagine Peace, Yoko Ono "Jerry Yellin takes you from the terror of
war to the everlasting hope of peace, in a unique story of World
War II. -A human story like no other. God bless you, Dr. Sugano."
John Colli, Nephew of Ken Colli from The Blackened Canteen "Words
cannot express the true feelings of the heart when reading "The
Blackened Canteen." We are brought to tears with the realization
that this author cared enough to honor these fallen heroes of WWII.
This fictional account has been faithfully told based on the facts
of these American Soldiers lives. What a true blessing " Lucy

Steven Schneider is an extraordinary poet. Each of the poems in
this collection is crafted with inspiration, dedication and a skill
that exemplifies the best of contemporary poetry. Unexpected Guests
is a powerful and beautifully written book that explores the
meaning of faith, remembrance and creativity. -Marjorie Agosin,
author of Dear Anne Frank and Always from Somewhere Else Is it any
coincidence that in Unexpected Guests Steven Schneider-whose
surname means "tailor"-dresses his poems to fit a variety of roles:
husband, father, historian, traveler, spiritual seeker, aesthete,
lover of the natural world? Wherever he wanders-be it Nebraska
prairie, Texas-Mexico border, or Biblical times-he relates his
desire to be rooted, truly at home, employing a voice that's
plain-spoken and calm, a welcoming voice that gets out of the way
of its subjects, so as to ease our way into them. -Thomas
Centolella, author of Terra Firma and Lights and Mysteries Steven
Schneider's poetry is deeply informed by Jewish philosophy, history
and art and is also deeply multicultural as his speaker interacts
and learns from a wide range of representatives from other
cultures. Through the cultural cross-currents and Biblical
resonances, he writes poetry that encompasses ancient and modern
history and culture in a deeply personal idiom. In one poem, the
author has a chance meeting on the prairie with a group of Hasidic
Jews. In another, he whimsically connects his experience of
Nebraska to ultra-urbane stylings of Frank O'Hara. It is an
outstanding collection of poetry, one that readers will both learn
from and enjoy. -Daniel Morris, author of Bryce Passage and
Remarkable Modernisms Unexpected Guests is a collection of poems
notable for the quiet intensity of its language as well as its
sweeping engagement with place and history. I am deeply engaged by
the voice throughout this collection, at once playful and serious,
attuned to the world and its occasions of wonder and loss, as well
as to Schneider's desire for something more enduring than the
world's ephemera. Unexpected Guests is full of clear, urgent poems,
sensitive to the threats of violence and terror that characterize
our times as well as an abiding sense of wonder at the ordinary
miracles in the natural world. -Daniel Tobin, author of The Narrows
and Where the World Is Made
One of the most tragic train accidents in the history of the world
occured in a picturesque valley in the Urals of Russia in 1989.
Thousands of people volunteered their time and expertise in order
to support the hundreds of people faced with unfathomable
challenges of survival. Dr. Svetlana Masgutova discovered the
importance of using specialized movement to assist the children in
recovering from shock and hysteria and eventually unveiling the
winner inside.
"What would happen to us if we were to undertake the discipline of
turning our life entirely and self-consciously into a poem? Through
Yukiko, who becomes both a contemplative Buddhist and a geisha
skilled in the refinements of sensuous pleasure, Diane Frank allows
us to live within the soul of a young woman who has undertaken to
create a life imagined and expressed as a poem, in every moment,
waking and sleeping, making love or meditating. With its power of
language, Blackberries in the Dream House will seduce many readers
into considering whether a prosaic life is the only choice we
have." Pierre DeLattre Author of Walking on Air and Tales of a
Dalai Lama "Diane Frank's exquisite sensibility manifests
throughout in Blackberries in the Dream House; it is both erotic
and metaphysical. In fact, her great strength is that for her
there's no division between the two. The result is this fine
lyrical novel." Stephen Dunn Pulitzer Prize Winning Poet

murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in
garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of
eld, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with
beards that rest on their bosoms. Loud from its rocky caverns, the
deep-voiced neighboring ocean Speaks, and in accents disconsolate
answers the wail of the forest. This is the forest primeval; but
where are the hearts that beneath it Leaped like the roe, when he
hears in the woodland the voice of the huntsman? Where is the
thatch-roofed village, the home of Acadian farmers, - Men whose
lives glided on like rivers that water the woodlands, Darkened by
shadows of earth, but reflecting an image of heaven? Waste are
those pleasant farms, and the farmers forever departed Scattered
like dust and leaves, when the mighty blasts of October Seize them,
and whirl them aloft, and sprinkle them far o'er the ocean. Naught
but tradition remains of the beautiful village of Grand-Pre. Ye who
believe in affection that hopes, and endures, and is patient, Ye
who believe in the beauty and strength of woman's devotion, List to
the mournful tradition still sung by the pines of the forest; List
to a Tale of Love in Acadie, home of the happy.

ringing. Far away through the forest might be heard its musical
clangor and swell. Peat-cutters on Blackdown and fishers upon the
Exe heard the distant throbbing rising and falling upon the sultry
summer air. It was a common sound in those parts - as common as the
chatter of the jays and the booming of the bittern. Yet the fishers
and the peasants raised their heads and looked questions at each
other, for the angelus had already gone and vespers was still far
off. Why should the great bell of Beaulieu toll when the shadows
were neither short nor long? All round the Abbey the monks were
trooping in. Under the long green-paved avenues of gnarled oaks and
of lichened beeches the white-robed brothers gathered to the sound.
From the vine-yard and the vine-press, from the bouvary or ox-farm,
from the marl-pits and salterns, even from the distant iron-works
of Sowley and the outlying grange of St.Leonard's, they had all
turned their steps home-wards

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - I wish to speak a word
for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a
freedom and culture merely civil - to regard man as an inhabitant,
or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I
wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic
one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister
and the school committee and every one of you will take care of
that. I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my
life who understood the art of Walking, that is, of taking walks -
who had a genius, so to speak, for SAUNTERING, which word is
beautifully derived "from idle people who roved about the country,
in the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under pretense of going a la
Sainte Terre," to the Holy Land, till the children exclaimed,
"There goes a Sainte-Terrer," a Saunterer, a Holy-Lander. They who
never go to the Holy Land in their walks, as they pretend, are
indeed mere idlers and vagabonds; but they who do go there are
saunterers in the good sense, such as I mean. Some, however, would
derive the word from sans terre without land or a home, which,
therefore, in the good sense, will mean, having no particular home,
but equally at home everywhere. For this is the secret of
successful sauntering. He who sits still in a house all the time
may be the greatest vagrant of all; but the saunterer, in the good
sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all
the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea. But I
prefer the first, which, indeed, is the most probable derivation.
For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the
Hermit in us, to go forth and reconquer this Holy Land from the
hands of the Infidels.

the Syrian border of Egypt towards the end of the XXXIII Dynasty,
in the year 706 by Roman computation, afterwards reckoned by
Christian computation as 48 B.C. A great radiance of silver fire,
the dawn of a moonlit night, is rising in the east. The stars and
the cloudless sky are our own contemporaries, nineteen and a half
centuries younger than we know them; but you would not guess that
from their appearance. Below them are two notable drawbacks of
civilization: a palace, and soldiers. The palace, an old, low,
Syrian building of whitened mud, is not so ugly as Buckingham
Palace; and the officers in the courtyard are more highly civilized
than modern English officers: for example, they do not dig up the
corpses of their dead enemies and mutilate them, as we dug up
Cromwell and the Mahdi. They are in two groups: one intent on the
gambling of their captain Belzanor, a warrior of fifty, who, with
his spear on the ground beside his knee, is stooping to throw dice
with a sly-looking young Persian recruit; the other gathered about
a guardsman who has just finished telling a naughty story (still
current in English barracks) at which they are laughing
uproariously. They are about a dozen in number, all highly
aristocratic young Egyptian guardsmen, handsomely equipped with
weapons and armor, very unEnglish in point of not being ashamed of
and uncomfortable in their profess-sional dress; on the contrary,
rather ostentatiously and arrogantly warlike, as valuing themselves
on their military caste.

medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century,
it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The
fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of
aestheticism - Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of
the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It
inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the
romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the
Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something
possible in this impossible thing we know as life. The Philosophy
of Tea is not mere aestheticism in the ordinary acceptance of the
term, for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our
whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it
enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in
simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral
geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the
universe. It represents the true spirit of Eastern democracy by
making all its votaries aristocrats in taste.
