Is is what was was?
An is is just a was that was
and that is very small...
And is is was so soon it almost
wasn't is at all.
For is is only is until
it is a was-you see...
And as an is advances
-to remain an is can't be
'cause if is is to stay an is
it isn't is because
another is is where it was
and is is then a was.
-Tom Hicks
The idea is not so much that the learners solve the problems as that the problems solve the learners.
-Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey
