Nirvana, Peace, the Right Brain

If you're feeling cynical right now, if you are in despair, please go to this site as soon as possible:

You'll get to view the recent TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) talk given by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor -- one of the most inspirational and hope-giving I have ever heard. Taylor, a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist, is at last getting the recognition she deserves for her book, My Stroke of Insight, thanks to her talk about her own stoke and the possibility of peace that exists if we could just learn how to access our right brains, the seat of all that is sacred and our private doorway to the universe and the pulsing life force that continues to breathe it into being.

It was my privilege to interview her about a year ago. The column I wrote in March 2007 can be found here.
