Did you know that people who have a dominant "left brain" (thinking) can "turn it off" and access the "right brain" by covering and/or closing the right eye?
And visa versa
Makes me wonder about pirates...

Poetry
My 'Sensei' and 'Yoda' Michael took me on a most unexpected adventure - after a full day of exploring the San Juan Islands and more remote parts of myself yet un-mapped.
With him I went to the "Skagit River Poetry Festival" last night (not on purpose) and had a lovely experience.
I learned from the poet Tony Curtis that when someone gives me the story of how a poem was "born" that I, a lover of stories, can 'hear' ... and love... a poem.
It also helped that he was quite funny and had a lovely accent.
His poetry was not (my interpretation) 'like jazz' - meaning that I, a non poet, could follow the 'melody' of the lines.
A wonderful discovery.

Take a Risk. Take a Chance. Plant a Seed
After over 900 concerts, I have seen with my own eyes the tears, the laughter, and the smiles of tens of thousands of people – people like you.
Overwhelmingly, the comment that I hear the most is, ‘If I would have known it was this good, I would have brought…’ Take a moment, read the comments below, and watch the trailer. See for yourself now – BEFORE we come to your neighborhood this May.
Perhaps you will bring that person with whom you’d like to share your faith, touch their heart, console their hurt, share their joy, share yourself.

Your wife is a wonderful singer who was given great talents by God. Please thank her for sharing those with us. My wife and I attended the concert in York, ME this evening and it was beautiful to listen to – just amazing. I hadn’t cried at a concert in years….

Joy and a sense of belonging generally fall within the context of being drawn into the life of another. When Tajci sings, however, it is not just being drawn into the dangerous last journey of Jesus – it’s also being drawn into how Tajci holds the audience breathless. That’s because she doesn’t just sing His walk to death; she tells the story in gestures, knowing that she has entered into the scene with her entire being and those of us in the audience just watch and realize just how much we have needed this beginning. For me and those who spoke with me after Tajci’s concert at St. John in Wellsburg, WV, it was a concert of love and being able to hear a pin drop. In the audience, a child cried only when the proclaiming of Jesus’ death was sung by Tajci. She is more than holding one spowbound. She is proud of her voice and uses it as God gives her the grace and strength to sing and speak with faith and wisdom. Go and see and hear her now. Find her in the nearest place and go. I thank God for the opportunity we had.

The personal experience that everyone had, was a great spiritual uplifting. Many of the people I spoke with said that they were happy because they felt like they had been on a spiritual retreat. Person A: mentioned “I don’t know how well she sings (Tajci), but I know it is amazing how she transmits the message of Jesus through her music”. Another person, Person B said: “I am not catholic but I assure you she really touched my heart the way she sings”.
From my personal experience, I always say that TAJCI has a special gift from God. The first time I met Tajci was in a Christmas Concert 2011 @ St. Bede’s Parish, in Holland, Pa; and from that moment on I said Tajci has to come to St. Hugh to bring her message of LOVE, AND HOPE. The most touching thing that I have to say is that I am very amazed at her love for her family and how the whole family works together to preach the Gospel through music. Tajci is a famous singer with a great simplicity of heart. Everyone I spoke with about the concert agreed on this virtue of TAJCI. Person C: “I really thought the concert was too short.”
