There is a well-known fact that goes entirely ignored:
the mind
and the body
are the same
thing.
(Keep looking
for the
soul,
it must be
around here
somewhere.)
Organic matters
are the matter
of thought;
this is difficult to
imagine
because trees
seem so
explicable
when cut down,
but brains are less
obvious.
I don't
take
the mystic
traditions
at their
word;
the energy
between
brain
and tree,
I'll believe
when it can
be observed.
But,
I do find
it off
to forget
that blood
is necessary
for a brain
is necessary
for thoughts
which require
fuel
which trees
seem happy
to provide.
Living
next to each other,
our bond in space
and time
cannot be
so easily
denied.
