On her public radio show On Being, Krisa Tippett had a great conversation with Princeton Professor Imani Perry. During that conversation they discussed a blog post that Perry made. In that post, there was a great analogy for nurturing.
Have you ever seen a small plant that has a splint holding it up? Growers do that when the plant is precious, but the ground on which it sits isn’t quite right for that little green shoot to flourish.
Perry was referring to nurturing children, but this imag can be applied to any nurturing situation.
