Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death [Kindle Edition]
Sam Parnia
Wow, I heard this author in an interview , could not remember where and it took me an hour to find the book, because I did not have the title right. It looks wonderful and more reason to start to teach awareness in the early grades. I plan to order it on Kindle tonight.

Book Review: Lee Kuan Yew - WSJ.com
Book Review: Lee Kuan Yew - WSJ.com This morning, I exercised on my bike for 20 minutes and reviewed the Wall Street Journal, as exercise for my mind. Once again a book review caught my eye.
Its amazing how some people have an incredible world view, but even then we are not perfect. Does imperfection ruin the beauty...of a mind, or a piece of art, the creation of music or anything in the world? My opinion is, of course not, it is the overall accomplishment that counts. Imperfection haunts us, causes us to be creative and more. Once again the East is brought forward to our intelligence, we have to stop ignoring the East, learn from it, study it, and adopt the best of it!
Today in the WSJ an article on alzheimers, pointed out that mind exercise would help delay the symptoms. I don't know about you, but I prefer the challenge of learning and understanding the world, to word games and puzzles, I hope it helps too!

Recently I had an awakening, that the subject we fail to teach in school is self awareness. I feel strongly that it would guide our nation to a better future. The 4 Noble Truths of the philosophy ofBuddhism as a starter in elementary school, would open so many to the world we live in. Then today I ran across this book review in the Wall Street Journal, and it convinced me that our failure to see beyond the Western world in education leaves us with a major shortfall in learning. If you do nothing but read this book review, you will have gained in tremendous knowledge of what we have to do to make our world a better place.

Julio Iglesias - La Mer
We can listen to this in French and enjoy it as much as if it was in English for those of us who are not bilingual...Alberto Iglesias, we need more from you....this song is grand, and Julio is wonderful!
La Mer - Django Reinhardt
As you know this is one of my all time favorites, but.....the spectacular arrangment of the song in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is right up there with this arrangment....I am not sure which is my first choice, maybe this is more romantic, I call it my gypsy guitar favorite. Which do you think is your favorite?
Let Me - Sergio Mendes , Jill Scott , Something new for me to post!
How nice to find these collaborations, interesting listening.
