Passing Thoughts #1 ~ Memory and DNA

What if our memory is not really
A function solely of the mind
But the role of all sensory receptors in the body

What if the mind is only one memory storage of a current life

What if DNA is the hunter
The gatherer
The harvester
The collector

What if
We don't always know what we know

What if
It takes an experience to activate
Distant memories

What if
Sometimes
It takes the meeting with
Others
(Any living being
Plant
Human
Maybe energy recognition)
To complete
The puzzle of
Who we really are

Just passing thoughts...

Rusty memories
Piping from a peeling life
Laid bare and wasted

Memory ~ Playing Bridge ~ for Jane's Inspirations

Playing Bridge
Some summer moons ago…
I lingered away holidays…
Walking…
Walking familiar drives…
Walking to seek a new look at the small things…
Missed in the daily haste of highways…
Imprisoned lanes
And traffic lights…
~
And there, tucked between gaudy facades
Of gummy colours and red hot sales…
Was a park…
A tall tall elm…
And a bench and table…
~
Tender coated shapes
Hunched over the table…
Poetically tapered fingers
Lightly held
A bunch of cards…
~
2 shadows…playing bridge…
~
I began to walk daily…
To the park…
Round the park’s elliptic secrets…
Through the park’s dappling lights…
~
And any time…
The dews of morning…
The glare of midday…
The hush of late afternoon…
~
Always…
2 shadows…playing bridge…
~
But that was many summer moons ago…
~
And today a friend told me
I should read a book called Geophysics for the Wandering Spirit…
A book lost in the dust left by
Gummy colours and red hot sales…
But still there…
A tiny crystal trapped in the web of progress
Waiting to be discovered…
~
The book was written by some guy with a PhD in Geophysics…
~
Who loved to play bridge…
