Some of you might know that I recently moved and am delighting in high speed
Internet for the first time. Addressing this ? of who we are, I can not
recommend highly enough the Jill Bolte Taylor youtube at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU>Seriously, I cry tears of bliss
every time I see it!! Talk about cry-sail-is Interesting misspelling
Katherine! <giggle> Perhaps all thoughts are old stuff. I especially like
the part where she says "there was total silence..."

In Joy,
Gina
