Left Brain, Right Brain Inside Out

The video below is stunning. Thank you, Jill Bolte Taylor!
I cannot recall the last time… if there ever was a last time… I gained so much insight or experienced such an incredible multiplicity of revelation from witnessing a single presentation. I may have attended a sermon or two that came close to having its impact, but I doubt that any experience has ever educed from deep within so much insight about the human condition.
The following video will take up about 18 minutes of your life. It may change the way you look at the rest of it.
I’ve heard and read much about left-brain vs. right-brain thinking processes and how they may relate to individual learning processes. Jill’s talk made me realize far more clearly how human communication is a primarily left-brain affair. It now appears to me that, in fact, the human condition results from how much clarity people might find behind the veil brought down upon reality by left-brain noise. Jill makes it clear, at least for me, that people must get to know their right-brains a whole lot better; perhaps I can help some people do this. (Continued)

Akiane

I’ve been looking at some art by Akiane, an 12-year-old art prodigy. Her work simply blows me away.
Akiane: child prodigy, artist, poet.
Her biggest wish: “that everyone would love God and one another”.
She says that her art comes from her visions, dreams, obervations of people, nature and God. I’m not about to argue with her. Wow!

Oh say does “OUR” star spangled banner yet wave?

I can’t decide if this is more funny than it is pathetic or vice-versa:
I don’t know if I want anyone who is so ignorant about tones and notes to be President of the United States. One of my voice coaches insisted that there is no such thing as “tone deafness.” I’m inclined to believe it. That’s strike two. Take your pick for strike one: she married Bill; she’s a liberal; she’s a Democrat.
Strike three: If you don’t know the words to our national anthem, then you don’t deserve to be President. Heck, if she were an alien applying for citizenship, I’d disqualify her for making this error.
