the venerable doctor lost her
"Ego-I am brain", the left hemisphere
to a stroke (of good luck)
her brain-chatter, the ceaseless self-conversation
was silenced...
ensuing ... Peace

sidestep...step to the right
of your left hemisphere
step-into the circuitry of your Right brain
one of deep inner peace

Dr. Jill Taylor
"A Superhighway to Bliss"

I loved the beautifully written "My Stroke of Insight - a Brain Scientist's Personal Journey" by Jill Bolte Taylor and her incredible talk on TED dot com. Dr. Taylor's unique perspective as a Harvard neuroanatomist having a stroke, combined with her sensitivity and awareness, produced something as powerful as I've ever witnessed. I want to share Dr Taylor's story far and wide because it's a wonderful story and a great book to read, but more importantly, this is the message we desperately need if we are to survive as a species.
