Mary had heart surgery in her twenties and came out with a blind spot her brain filled in. She didn't know she couldn't see this spot until someone asked why she wasn't taking pills that were sitting right in front of her. She still uses the question: "Is my brain a liar?" on herself when she assumes someone's mad at her. This week's St. Louis sangha talk starts there and moves into Thich Nhat Hanh's seven factors of awakening, a five-year-old watch someone finally took out of a box, and why pragmatic Buddhism means dealing with a bully at work instead of a hiding away in a cave in the mountains.
