My thanks to Patricia Powell Kessler for posting this TED video on the sidebar of her blog. This talk appeals to me on so many levels. Margaret Wertheim discusses marine biology, the mathematics of hyperbolic geometry, textiles, folk art, environmental activism, and the passion of spontaneous creativity.

You would have loved the exhibition at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History last February. Go to this blog link http://abyssalplain.blogspot.com/2011/02/hyperbolic-wonders.html
to see some of my snapshots and then click on the post title and it will take you to the museum page.
Thanks for sharing.
Hello! I think I've gathered from comments that you are the magic helper of Ruth our poetess who is busy concocting her collection for publication? If yes, then I am writing to say thank you :)
So lovely of you ...
I am a big admirer of Ted talks... My brother was asked to deliver one of the TEDx talks in Malaysia and although he hasn't been able to coordinate times yet, he may one day.
Isn't this freedom of accessing technology brilliant?
Wow! Thanks for sharing. She definitely fits in my mode of thinking as a woman with passion.
Hi,
This is fantastic and inspiring. Women with big passions do always impress me. They make me happy.
Your blog makes me really happy.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get to know new projects around the world.
Best regards from Sweden and me, Susanna
She's such a good role model for us to follow!
Thanks for sharing.
This blows my mind, DB! I listened to every word as though in a trance! Thanks for sharing it.
Dear Constance,
Yea - girl power!
Dear Patricia,
Thank you for the inspiration and for the additional links. I just love this project!
Dear Shaista,
Thank you for your kind words. I was the person Ruth called the morning of that post. I don't know how magic I was; I only opened up some possibilities. Ruth's talent will lead her project.
Your brother must be a special person to have been invited to be a TED speaker. Please let me know when he does deliver the talk.
Dear Marilyn,
Yes, Wertheim appears to be living life to the fullest!
Dear Sanna,
Your comment makes me happy! And so does your blog. The Halloween wedding is remarkable.
Dear London Caller,
She truly is an inspiration to us all.
Dear Ginnie,
Thank you for taking the time to watch. She is indeed an engaging speaker.
