“We don’t perceive objects as they are but as we are,”
said the scientist of the brain.
The student asked, “Are my perceptions only my own
or if I share them then are they what others perceive
in their own ways in their own brains?
Are our perceptions only personal or, even experienced
uniquely, of a common strain?
Is their something in our heads that is part of the great
collective experience that when we hear a song or read
a poem or see the celestial dance
we utter a collective refrain?
What is plain
is that somehow, in some way, connections are made between
heads and hearts both in the human soul —
the great collective experience,
the past, present and future in the
human brain.
