Somebody can come out to dance, and his dancing will be
watching. Watching like what? As he is dancing, you will say if you
watch him, maybe you too will be able to dance like him. Everyone
has got the dance his heart likes, and that is why the dances are
many. -Ibrahim Abdulai, quoted in John Miller
Chernoff, African Rhythm and African Sensibility
"Do you hear the rushing of the river?"
"Yes." he tells his teacher.
"That is the Way."
