How they see you Your roles and vocation: professional, parent, shepherd, builder, learner Your person Your passion Your transparency and vulnerability
How you see them • Professional: unskilled, inexperienced • Parent: “orphan” • Shepherd: “lost” • Builder: “ruin” or “under construction” • Learner: “teacher” • Empty vessels? (educare: to lead or draw out) • Teacher factor (chips on our shoulder, power differential)
How they see themselves Input from peers, parents, you Input from mass media, social networks Their idols Impressionability and capacity for self-reflection Complexity of adolescent issues
How you see the world Change Time Two worlds or more? Change and complexity and overload Truth and manipulation
How to cultivate seeing? • Depth and imagination • The arts and sciences • Silence and prayer • Reading and writing • Music • Repetition • Dreams and desires • What enrages? • What awakens?
