Human Discourse
Of course human discourse
Is a force of much importance
Verbal back and forths
How we all hold a view and core stance
Representing values and systems
Oral or written
They reside in our core
In the depths of our soul folklore
We all have tales
Telling when our values were tested
Rested on assumptions
We were then forced to question
Each lesson, an instant message
Whose message has left us
In the quest of more questions
So we prevail on this trail
Unwanting to grow stale
Walking over bouldered roads
Bumpy like brail
Paper, white paper
Crumpled to a ball
Planet Earth condensing matter
Into a mind so small
But does the mind matter?
Matter of fact it does.
If you make not the mind matter
It floats onwards like fuzz...
But the question remains...
How much buzz need there be?
Are you settled on one flower?
Or busy like a bee?
The water or the lotus?
The wind or the tree?
Forces of the mind
Beckon us into motion
As streams move to rivers
And rivers move to oceans
While sense makes to thoughts
And thoughts make to sentences
To emotions and understanding
Towards eventual transcendence.

Canada Day!
I realized that it was 5 years ago today that I was busy studying Traditional Drumming and Dance in Ghana, West Africa. I thought it would be appropriate therefore to include it in today's post. What I did 5 years ago at the Canadian Embassy in Ghana (check out weird dancer boy in pic)...and what I did this year, which was engage in a Crystal Bowl Sound Healing session with my buddy Darren Austin Hall!
Teaching Kids Neuroscience!
I had the privilege of teaching kids in Toronto the science behind how we think...and why things like helmets are good. Gosh I should be a little bit more diligent wearing mine. Believe it or not, this lecture actually involved words and phrases like "sensory cortex" "occipital lobe" "temporal cortex" ...big words for little brains. Oh and PS, that's a brain made out of gelatin. Pink gelatin. It wobbled.
