  29. “The best supervisors I’ve had…listened intently, found something to value, and then recast what I told then, embellishing it with something of their own. The experience of good supervision is like finding a fellow traveler on a challenging journey, a companion worthy of trust who has visited similar destinations. This fellow traveler knows many routes to our goal but is open to discovering a different path, a path we walk together, often with me in the lead, except when I miss the flowers to smell, or when I stumble or can't find my way. Then the supervisor is there to guide, even to prod a little, to bolster my courage, and to help me regain my footing and focus, to help me find my strength.”R. Shahmoon-Shanok
