I stumbled across this talk through a link from a link from a blogger I’ve followed for a number of years. If I could pick up and be accepted to do further study at any graduate school anywhere, this might just be who I would want to work with.

This was brilliant! I wish I could carry her in my pocket and take her out every so often to help me evaluate people and circumstances I encounter…what a great perspective.
Ah – I have also reposted this on my blog…and it came up in a post on my Gluten Free Girl blog the other day too – it seems a message is trying to get through the universe to me…a great talk, and a way of life I feel you and I share dear Gillian! Thank you for your constant whole-heartedness.
