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.
