Muscles and fat, ligaments, bone; do they have a life of their own endowed with a thinking ability, feelings, and creativity? Do they sit like an artist ready to paint, a poet ready to write, or a lover, a mother, a father, a child, giving and taking in love? Rather perhaps products of mind risen up from immortal design stricken in youth by ideas of age, illness, and death. Errors of past; how they confine and turn my heart into dust, crumble my bones, wrinkle my skin, and make me look like a crone. Though I rebel and stand with the few mass consciousness yet un-evolved pulls me into its slipstream and downgrades the power of mind. And I act like a woman this time around reaching to touch and embrace, nurture and love till I am undone by the force of collective minds. I speak here, there, but soon into air the idea of this woman called “Helen”! Helen / 11 April 2005 |

Majnu - What an interesting comment so I'm thinking that if the name be heavy, then I'm stronger than I once supposed. Thanks for the read. |

Thanks, Dixie. Yes, thinking first - understanding second. |
