What kinds of things might a neuroscientist want to tell us, after she has recovered from a massive stroke?
"We are energy beings, connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres, as one human family. And right here, right now, we are brothers and sisters on this planet, here to make the world a better place, and in this moment we are perfect, we are whole and we are beautiful."

"My left brain is that little voice that says to me, 'hey, you gotta remember to pick up bananas on the way home, I need them in the morning.' It's that calculating intelligence that reminds me when I have to do my laundry. But most important its that little voice that says to me 'I am, I am.' And as soon as my left hemisphere says to me 'I am' I become separate. I become a single, solid individual, separate from the energy flow around me, and separate from you. And this is the portion of my brain that I lost on the morning of my stroke."

In summation, it will be illegal for a Canadian to make this glorious GIF that I found:
And for posting it, we will go to prison.
And this blog will be all about prison crafts and will be renamed sally mckay and L.M. and Maurice "Mom" Boucher, but more likely will be called Maurice "Mom" Boucher and L.M. and sally mckay
