Puppets

We often speak of the dichotomy between mind and body and the many cliché and less cliché paradigmes. From the healthy mind healthy body  – the body doesn’t lie – a wild mind stuck in a body – it’s all in the mind, to the taboos imposed on the body ( mostly the female one) and the mind thinking about the body, the list goes on with the often  very conflictual and complex relationship between the two . One thing is sure – it all goes through the mind and the body – there is no way out about it.

We also know that one can influence the other, reciprocally – a thought has a physiological impact on the body’s biochemistry and cellular exchange and vice versa – hormonal disruption – gut flora imbalance for example can influence moods and the mind.

I stumbled across old texts I wrote in my much younger days – many speak of that struggle inside coming to terms with that vessel that is our body and how to deal with that conflictual relationship with it- I learned to tame  it over  the years and take full advantage of its assets .

It seems we are forever rotational beings – where the same topics and reflections arise – only a level up – with a few stripped layers  .

 

Caged

“Brain in a cage

Corps Set 

In your way 

No way

Out.

Thoughts flying wild

Words and Feathers 

Plucked “

 

 

 

Puppets

Puppet without  strings

None visible

A clean plate

A start

Memories I cant remember

Written in my head

I don’t seem to forget

Ghost of lives

hidden shadows

Idols or Puppet

Idol or Muppet

 

Invisible strings

Attached

Echos in a cave

Lines I cant decipher

Feelings I cant embrace

Scars I cant Trace

Bubbles and ideas

Filled with Void

Void of Fill

Is this how we start?

Puppet without  strings

None visible

None Palpable

None Tangible

Hanging

Its all in the head.
