Grabble intr. vb. To feel or search with the hands, to grope about. Sometimes to grope and grabble (cf. Dutch grapen en grabbelen). “Grabling all night in the dark … through wild Olive Trees, and high Rocks.” -- Plutarch, Lives, tr. T. North, 1676 This word, grabble, conveys, I think, a sense of the explorations we were undertaking. But I should be clear that in this presentation, I am only speaking for myself and am not representing the students or their possible perspectives.

In meeting, the other becomes a Thou … And I become more fully I, more fully human (“You are therefore I am”) “All real living is meeting.” – Martin Buber, I and Thou Martin Buber’s Theory of I and Thou

23 Martin Buber’s Theory of I and Thou
In meeting, the other becomes a Thou … And I become more fully I, more fully human “Dialogue further requires an intense faith in humankind, faith in their power to make and remake, to create and re-create, faith in their vocation to be more fully human.” – Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed Martin Buber’s Theory of I and Thou

The movement to dialogue, to the I-Thou relationship is what Buber calls “turning to the other” And it turns out it is not so much a question of what we can do but rather of what we can be to create meeting. Izzeldin Abuelaish Martin Buber’s Theory of I and Thou
