Dogon.

The night of a thousand voices
Sirius B spoke volumes to me
Somewhere on a mountain in a desert on a plain
I thought I was crazy or claimed

Have you heard the secrets of the wind in the grass
Learned from the light in the moving trees
Have you ever known the true way
To make it from A to Z?

I have been to high school
And I have been to a higher school
But somewhere on that crazy mountain on a plain
The night first told me my name.

Sometimes, it is the small things in life that teach us the most. Nature certainly is the greatest teacher. I wonder at "knowledge" the way it is packaged in schools/colleges.What is "education" in the final analysis?
