METROPOLITAN DIARY

Reader Tales From the City

I’m sitting at the information desk one afternoon at the American Museum of Natural History. A woman, with a heavy accent, approaches to ask a question.

“Where’s the sea lion?” she asks.

“In the Hall of Ocean Life,” I respond.

She gives me a perplexed look, then tries again.

“Where’s the sea lion?”

I try to give her a little more help. “In the Hall of Ocean Life. Go to the lower level of the Hall, turn left, and you will see two sea lions behind a pane of glass.”

Still perplexed, and now impatient, she tries one more time:

“No. Choo-choo. The C line.”

A midnight campfire deep inside a secluded forest.

The fire burns safely; deep inside a secluded forest.

Sitting directly towards the warmth on an dry rotted fallen tree, I turn my head and neck around, squinting into complete darkness.

There's nothing to see past the next tree with a soft warm glow in any direction anyway.

Heat and the sounds of crackling timber signaling into my ear to reassure me.

A half crescent moon dodges clouds and tree branches.

looking down at my twisting toes making patterns fire lit in the dirt, pulverizing last seasons fallen brown leaves

I'm gazing blankly into the fire until my vision blurs

I want this to last forever.

I feel completely content.

Next Chapter

Even though I try to constantly remind myself of direction. I think I'm officially lost. The next couple of months should be quite interesting and new. For the better? We'll see.

Scientists have speculated that the human brain features a "God spot," one distinct area of the brain responsible for spirituality. Now, University of Missouri researchers have completed research that indicates spirituality is a complex phenomenon, and multiple areas of the brain are responsible for the many aspects of spiritual experiences. Based on a previously published study that indicated spiritual transcendence is associated with decreased right parietal lobe functioning, MU researchers replicated their findings. In addition, the researchers determined that other aspects of spiritual functioning are related to increased activity in the frontal lobe.
