This Is It ... !

With all this

Past

Future

Past

Future

We miss the now

All we have

Is the now

This is it

This is

Who you are

It is inherent

It is joyful

Don't just do something

Sit there

With all this socially engaged work

First you must learn

What the Buddha learned

To still the mind

Then you don't take action

Action takes you

Peace

And

Love

So who are we?

We are the life force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. And we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. Right here right now, I can step into the consciousness of my right hemisphere where we are -- I am -- the life force power of the universe, and the life force power of the 50 trillion beautiful molecular geniuses that make up my form. At one with all that is. Or I can choose to step into the consciousness of my left hemisphere. where I become a single individual, a solid, separate from the flow, separate from you. I am Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, intellectual, neuroanatomist. These are the "we" inside of me.

Which would you choose? Which do you choose? And when? I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be. And I thought that was an idea worth spreading.
