Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader, follows her October talk on "head and heart" with this one taking another step.  "Head" has been a metaphor for the thinking part of our brains, and "heart" for the part of our brain that processes emotions and is creative.  That's not enough, Jone argues: when we just focus on what's in our heads, we may be cut off from the rest of our body and from the actualities of the world around us.  How would our ethical lives be enriched by more body awareness? by more in-touch-ness with what we can observe, hear, and otherwise sense?
