[Dialogue] Oliver Sacks

[steve har via Dialogue]

Oliver Sacks died today.

He was a neurologist,  a deep explorer of the human spirit and an
imaginal educator: "Every time we practice an old skill or learn a new
one, existing neural connections are strengthened and, over time,
neurons create more connections to other neurons. Even new nerve cells
can be generated".

He wrote on the joy of life: "Above all, I have been a sentient being,
a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has
been an enormous privilege and adventure."
