A mind once expanded...

Of all the cool things we're doing this week at the CFVF, the one thing I'm looking most forward to is meeting the cool filmmakers.

At the last minute tonight, I had to make some phone calls to line out where some of the people coming to town were staying and when they're arriving. I got to talk to some cool people - and that excites me. There's this great quote that once a mind has been expanded by an idea, it will never return to the same shape.

That is such an invigorating idea. As soon as I'm told something new or different - no matter what - I will never be the same person again. That's awesome. Of course, that got me looking for stuff on the internet. I came across this thing called TED (Technology, Entertainment & Design), which is being described as "beta version of Heaven." That's the coolest idea I've ever heard. Wow. I'm already somebody new.

The conference has a book club. And next month, they are coming out with this book called What We Believe But Cannot Prove. Religion? Superstition? Free Will?
