A friend of mine gave
one of these TED talks, but you'll never find it on YouTube. To find out more about her theories, you'll have to chat her up after a performance by her band (which has recorded several albums), or at a poetry reading with other writer friends, or catch her style of teaching at NYU (where she's a tenured professor), or go to a Solstice event at the Greek Orthodox Church where she's the Deacon -- do you see what I'm getting at? People like my friend -- people who challenge you to think -- are everywhere if you choose to look.
I believe in supporting dilated thinkers as avidly as specialized artists. One way to do that is to befriend and value them while they're still here with us on Earth.
