Wade Davis on Ted.com

It's a Ted.com day....yeah!!

It is an amazing world we live in and Ted.com is one of those resources that allows us to take a moment to reflect on that fact.

Ted Davis: The worldwide web of belief and ritual

"The measure of a society is not only what it does but the quality of its aspirations."

Anthropologist Wade Davis muses on the worldwide web of belief and ritual that makes us human. He shares breathtaking photos and stories of the Elder Brothers, a group of Sierra Nevada indians whose spiritual practice holds the world in balance.

I absolutely loved this video! I am so interested in other cultures. I did not initially think I would watch the whole thing but I became so enthralled and amazed. By the end I was very pensive. Thanks for putting this out there!
