Green leaves are green. There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen. And I see every one. Teachers have power. They change lives.
Teachers are powerful.

And as those who, in our own times, have felt the shaping influence of powerfully significant teachers, we know that that was no little designation. Jesus was a powerful teacher. Powerful, but according to the people in this story, there was also something more. And that, too, fits with our experience because, as we know, there are teachers, and then there are teachers.
