Woke up to an email from a medical student I don't know with the subject line "You're an inspiration". Is this some clever form of spam? I thought. What are they selling? Weird. Scanning it I realized that UMDNJ magazine came out with a feature on my book that I was interviewed for last year but totally forgot about. I'll look for it when I get into the office today. Maybe this will help me think about how to write my TED talk for the March application deadline.
Huh.

Also in my email, from Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration:
"Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill."
~The Buddha
Isn't it cool when the universe dovetails like that? I guess Siddharta was right: choose your words carefully. People really do listen to them, and are influenced thereby for the better or worse.
(And now I am wondering, exactly what did I say?)
