Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

Tip of the hat to both Eclecticity and to Ralph who shared this. It is meant to be passed along!

Hi Nan,
This morning I watched a film by Geert Wilders on Youtube. It was depressing and fearful. Then I watched this one and it seems like it offers the opposite of the first. Fear and hate vs. the beauty of life. Seems like a no brainer (no pun indended) and I know I'm not alone, so why such turmoil in this world? Gives me some things to ponder this morning as I start my day.
