The Brain and The Mind

Our Brain
Encased in a protective bone shell
Tangled neurons generating electrical signals
A barrage of nerves creating our individual consciousness

Our Mind
Consciousness of our glorious world
Our identity and all information, and the gift of memory
Tears and smiles, moans and laughter, hate and love, all that we are

Our Visions
Of what has been and what can be
Of the world as a living hell full of pain and misery
Or as a Garden of Eden in which the lions and lambs rest together

Our Thoughts
Of all that could be
By treating our world as a treasure
By recognizing the value and worth of each person

Our Appreciation
For the scents that fill our world
For the multitude of sounds that surround us
For the beauty of the diverse elements of our world

Our Longings
For connections with our world
For companionship and friendship with others
For acceptance and love, peace on earth and good will to all

Our Mind
Our Consciousness
Our Visions and Thoughts
Our Appreciation and Longings
All from our Brain
All from our Brain
