This is probably the Ted talk that was being referred to: https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius

This is one of my favorite Ted talks.

Thanks, I saw the video, she makes some references to the spanish word olé! as an evolution of the word Allah! expressing there is god in that performance. There is another spanish expression "tener duende" literal translation "to have a fairy-goblin-like-magic-creature", mostly used in flamenco.

Thanks for those references. Threads of truth in language.
