“
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
-In Memoriam A.H.H, Lord Alfred Tennyson
The italicized stanza is on my 2012 vision board. This whole poem is magical but it also encapsulates a lot of 2011 for me and some very dear friends. So ring out the old, indeed.

“When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing, when your activities and actions become gratifying and purposeful, when what you do serves both yourself and others, when you do not tire within but seek the sweet satisfaction of your life and your work, you are doing what you were meant to be doing.”

[excerpt from this article I read today after someone looked at my artwork and excitedly labeled me a neuroscience artist. After reading this I found that’s like saying all humans are oxygen breathers, but in a good way]
Neuroscientist Semir Zeki originally coined the term “neuroesthetics”to…
So, since I’m a neuroscientist, does that make me an artist? =)

“Squint your eyes and look closer
I’m not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I’m beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you’re starving
and eating all of the words you said.” —Ani DiFranco
