Connection

Connection

I.
On paper you make sense
We like the same things, both
get excited and passionate about life,
learning and service
We explore and adventure the world,
talk for hours about everything
have similar circles of friends
and in my head, we go together
Are you what I need?

II.
Pleasing to the eye,
your face is beautiful
Like Mayer said, "Your body is a wonderland"
I'm drawn to you
and fear you too
My eyes don't know how to trust
the mirror

III.
Deep as the ocean
Wide as the Nile
Burning like lava
Cold as floor tile
Through the varied seasons of my heart
you know how to reach me,
nearly complete me
Your goodness and honesty
inspire and move me
But my heart is walled off
and I hold back
waiting to see if we
connect on all levels

IV.
What is soul? Where is mine,
where is yours?
Together we meet sometime,
somewhere on our journeys
Timing and agency are key

The walls melt down
This feels right
My mind likes you
I like you with my eyes
My heart likes you
My soul likes you too
So this is connection of mind, body and heart
growing for eternity
Is this for real?

Connection, I believe, is light. With an exponentially progressing understanding of the human mind/brain, quantum physics now shows us how our brains are LITERALLY CREATING LIGHT when connections are formed in the brain. That sure gives the saying "Lights on, but no one's home" more meaning now.

When we develop negative and detrimental addictions, we do so by forming connections in our brains to stimuli which is harmful to our well-being/health. Of course this is rarely obvious in the moment, but because humans inherently crave, want, & need light, the light that is then created in our brains from the harmful stimuli, fades quicker, however, we literally feel the urge to continue seeking it anyway because it feels good...thus forming addictions/negative habits.

More powerful connections are those which are longer lasting. Connections/brain-light which are longer lasting are those which take longer to form. We truly must EARN that kind of light creation/sustainence. It then becomes part of the way we think, breathe, live, love & is always with us, so long as we properly sustain it. We then, can literally inspire (latin for...to breathe life into) and "touch" others with the light we carry.

Oh there is so much more to say.
