How our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another

I wish could have watched this with each of you. Justin sent it to me encouraging, pleading, with me to see it. I did so finally today and all I can tell you is how much I cried at how beautifully insightful and touching it is. The feelings I had in my body were like those of a More To Life Training on a Sunday.  You will think of Sharon Parish and all that she wanted for herself and others to know and all that she worked so faithfully with us to have for ourselves and others.

About the Video:

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.
