when i was nine years old i was in third grade and i had a very eccentric teach who coined my name as the wise man i didn't know why and in that same year she had the class go one a field trip to a local park and a man had us all sit and a circle close our eyes and tell us what animal you see... i saw a snake no one else did i always wondered why.. now that i'm a little old and have studied history it makes sense. how could one make sense of this
