Jan 30 Blog
Both the article on art and the video of the Dr's stroke revolve around the concept of thinking differently than one normally would. The article focuses on thinking outside of the box in order to have a different perspective on art and the world. The video describes how the Dr's stroke shut down part of her brain and literally forced her to have a new perspective of herself and the world around her. The author of the article and the speaker in the video share common ideas on perception of the world. Both works conclude with the idea that it is more beneficial to everyone to take the path less traveled. It is not easy to see the world in this way, which is what makes it so easy to follow the monogamous routine of life, but it is important to lead a life with deeper meaning and emotion in order to have a meaningful human experience. It is easy to see the similarities in the ideologies of both works and see how they are applied in context to the real world.

I absolutely agree that both Jill Bolte and Noah Charney embrace "the path less travelled," also known as, "thinking outside of the box". The article definitely describes how abstract art and thought leads to enlightenment and a new perspective about the world around us. Bolte also vividly illustrates the abstract, right minded bliss she experienced while having a stroke, and with that she gained insight from the beauty that is contained in "abstract thinking". I also agree with your statement that claims it is important to live a life with deep meaning and passion in order to receive the full "human experience". I believe both authors would agree that a life without meaning and emotion would make for a very dull life. If these two authors were to sit down over dinner and discuss the human experience, they would most likely agree upon many things; as you said "It is easy to see the similarities [and] ideologies of both [authors]". Both authors enjoy abstract thinking and gain new perspective and knowledge, by delving into abstract thought.
