Greetings,
These images are from a mural at an Indonesian school where I had 100 ten-year old teachers a year ago. They graduated to Grade 5 and I graduated back to Vietnam and the University of the Street. The kids said, "there's book learning and there's street learning."

A poem by Antonio Machado. Translated from the Spanish by Betty Jean Craige.
Walker, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more.
Walker, there is the road, the road is made by walking.
Walking you make the road, and turning to look behind you see the path you never again will step upon.
Walker, there is no road, only foam trails on the sea.
Metta.
You can't photograph a memory. - Henri Cartier Bresson

Sir Stephan Hawking, esteemed British theoretical scientist, has revealed the truth.
Aliens are here. Aliens are nomads intent on conquering planets in the solar system.
Aliens may exist but mankind should avoid contact with them as the consequences could be devastating, Sir Hawking warned on Sunday.
"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," the astrophysicist said in a new television series, according to British media reports.
"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach," Hawking warned.
The doomsday scenario is suggested in the series Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking on the Discovery Channel, which began airing in the United States on Sunday.
On the probability of alien life existing, he says: "To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational.
"The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like."
"Glowing squid-like creatures, herds of herbivores that can hang onto a cliff face and bright yellow predators that kill their prey with stinging tails are among the creatures that stalk the scientist's fantastical cosmos.
"Mankind has already made a number of attempts to contact extraterrestrial civilizations."
Aliens understand energy, vibrations and frequencies.
Here is an all knowing, all benevolent, all seeing nomadic alien at a secret location on Earth. We are friends.
ITs mission is to conduct extensive long term experimental scientific research on stupid shallow homo sapiens and extract natural resources from the planet.
