    That’s great! I met Mr. Bear not so long ago and was intrigued to say the least.

    By the way, I think there’s a link between pregnancy, fetal development, and expression of those third-eye genes. Lately I’ve felt mine growing in the back of my head when I’m in the kitchen and my daughter is playing in the living room. My third eye is gaining focus. “Get down from that table!!!” I say without turning my head from the dishes. And I hear a giggle. Yep, third eye developing.
