Jenni’s Journal: My Dialogue Slam Poem Epiphany of Greatness

20120524-124335.jpg

HELLLOOOO SUPER FOREST!

WOW I JUST HAD AN AMAZING EPIPHANY! I AM AN EXPLOSION OF GREATNESS!

Context: Right now I am currently a student at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Right now (for May and June) I am a student in the Semester in Dialogue Program and we are focused on Sustainable Food Systems. In short…

The Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue addresses what we believe is the principal challenge for contemporary education: to inspire students with a sense of civic responsibility, encourage their passion to improve Canadian society, and develop innovative intellectual tools for effective problem solving. Each semester we develop an original and intensive learning experience that uses dialogue to focus student education on public issues. (via)

Today we had local Zero Waste Leaders Art Bomke and Helen Spiegelman in our dialogue.

My inspiration come from people like you.

- ART BOMKE

The following is a slam poem of my thoughts. Maybe i’ll make a video tonight (I literally couldn’t wait to post this and my heart is beating like crazy right now).

Soooo….

I made a pretty concise list of the things that I hold dear, and I realized that those things make up what I’ve got to share. Fun. + education + celebration + value(s) … + listening, laughter, love, creativity, hugs + criticism. Criticism is treasure and gold: I want to celebrate a different thought and climb up from the old. Everything in the wold universe has led up to this day. And all the people I’ve ever met have have influenced what I’m about to say. We are all hero’s in our own way. We all have a thing to learn and a thing to give away. Keep on moving forward because we are inherently – inheartantly – ants – for everything we do builds the hill up from the grass. How are others saying NO a strength, an opportunity, to evolve the status quo. What makes your life great? What’s on your list that you hold dear? What are you learning? What have you got to fear? And how will that inform my list and what I choose to hear?

Sidenote: I am literally clicking like a typewriter I am making so many connections right now! Let’s do this! Bam!

Love,

Jenni

The Human Heart

Hey SuperForest!

I’ve recently been looking into Oxford University (dreaming big!) and today I ran across their science blog. This little gem caught my eye. I’d like to introduce you to the human heart. Human heart, meet SuperForest.

…an Oxford University researcher has produced an image showing the orientation of ‘strings’, or more scientifically-speaking ‘muscle fibres’, within the human heart…It was generated from an MRI scan of a heart, using Diffusion Tensor Imaging. The scan tracks the movement of water molecules throughout the heart muscle, which reveals how the muscle cells are aligned. The lines represent the orientation of muscle fibres in the heart’s biggest chamber, the left ventricle.

How cool!
Much love to you all,
