Hello World! My name is Francis Raven. I was born on March 10, 2010 @ 5:41pm weighing 6.1lbs via normal delivery. I got my Mom’s ravishing looks and my Dad’s long legs and sexy butt. I’m looking forward to having lots of fun and making this world a better place. See you around!
In the Science of Enlightenment series Shinzen Young mentioned that one of his dreams is to teach meditation at ivy league “Ivy Plus” universities, like M.I.T. I’m not sure how far Shinzen had accomplished that dream. However, just recently, Shinzen had the opportunity to share his approach to mindfulness meditation to a bunch of geeky Googlers at the Googleplex. It’s not M.I.T. but the geekiness atmosphere is there. Below is the video.
Big thanks to Chade Meng (aka the Buddha in the Googleplex) for making this happen. I hope that someday Shinzen’s approach and style of teaching meditation be taught in universities as part of the humanities, health, and science departments.
Thanks, Shinzen! Today, Google Talks. Tomorrow, TED Talks… moment by moment, just this…
Francis Raven is almost here. It’s cool to see his little brain growing at a fast pace. I wonder what he’s feeling, thinking, and dreaming at this time…
Take your time, son. Keep on dreaming of ten million fireflies. Your mom and I are just right here waiting and dreaming with you.
