Back in Action

Hello out there in blogland - it's been a while. 

Sorry it's been so long since my last posting.  As you will note if you peruse that posting, I was about to leave on vacation.  Little did I know at the time that it would also be an extended vacation from my blog-writing.  I'm back in the flow now so you can expect more regular updates for a while.

This is just a quick entry for now to let you know about a fascinating lecture I was recently made aware of.  The lecture is by a Harvard-based Neuroscientist named Jill Taylor.  She describes the workings of the two hemispheres of the human brain, along with an amazing account of her own experience of a tumor that burst in her brain many years ago, her astounding recovery, and the profound insights she derived from the experience. 

Her account is humourous, fascinating, and inspiring, and provides insight into the human condition as well as her insight on fostering peaceful coexistence.
