Loving my Brain

I really Love my brain. It is always thinking! It is my creative spirit.

It gives me the:

• emotions that gave me the ability to love, and find connections with others
• images of subjects to sculpt, paint, or draw
• words that I need to speak, read, and understand, and to write poetry and prose
• ability to see, smell, taste, hear, and feel all the beauty in this world
• flight into fantasy of dreams while sleeping and while awake
• ability to enjoy sex with my loving wife
• restfulness of sleep and the ability to meditate and clear my mind
• most powerful computer in the world, which is my clock and calendar,

telling me what to do and when to do it, helping me to:

* fight illness

* build and re-build muscles

* avoid dangerous situations

* remember my life story

* try to understand my place in the universe

My mind is my companion and friend. It is getting old with me and, like my arthritis, giving me pain, its hard-drive is getting full, frustrating me by making it more difficult for it to find the right word to say, but thankfully, not for anything that I write. It is my old friend and teacher. I pray that it will not forsake me and I will stick with it until the end.
