I finished teaching my first NYLF Medicine session on Tuesday.  My scholars and I had a truly wonderful, inspiring, action-packed 10-days together.  They were the best I could have asked for!

“All of us have experiences that could change our lives if we let them: love, offered suddenly, turning from the mantelpiece, as Demlore Schwartz put it.  And that, oddly, was the way it was with me and the butterflies.  Not love, exactly, offered suddenly, but a similar quickening of the heart and desire — in this case a desire to know, if knowledge was not only information and understanding but experience.  I could feel those butterflies tugging on my imagination as if it were a loose sleeve.”

High-end fashion combined with the celebration of historic events. I like it. I never tire of hearing astronauts talk about their experiences going to and finally in outer space, especially when an entertainment and advertising piece is done as well as this.
