Thinking as pictures * 11/18/12


Thinking as pictures,
actually as movies,
feels like a deeper brain process.
Not something education
ever promoted or cultivated.
It feels more primal
but less disclosed.
These images,
on a overlay mind screen,
require a shift of visual field focus,
some recognition of imagery,
but not given to a story line up front.
A context, somewhat,
but not meaningful as resolve.
Maybe it’s just images
in a right brain way
and words in a left brain way,
in the daytime, meeting indiscreetly,
if at all,
while nighttime
as dreams and lucidly so,
presents illogical stories to place
but coherency
from beneath or behind,
surfacing with interest.
In some ways,
I can’t show you
unless I can take you there.
For my part, as the teller
communication versus conveyance,
and for you part, as the listener,
understanding versus empathy.
This may mean,
what I say,
how I say it
and from where within
do I speak.
This means for you,
what do you hear,
how do you embrace
what you hear,
and from where within
your listener
does it have residence.
And vice versa as conversation.
The deeper things I say,
need to well up
as if delved and yet just appear.
They have their strength
in the coming forth
and not so much
as arrived in or for certitude.
They have a mind life
before they have names,
ever so short
as that time might be.
It is like an underwater movie
of seals approaching a rocky coast.
The seals, viewed from underwater
have motion and are playfully fluid.
As they leap unto the rock
and now filmed from above the water,
they are viewed entirely differently,
almost as postured and posing.
Their movement
contributes quite differently
to the observation shift as input.
The seals were more animated images
or movies in the water,
and once on land,
they become more like words,
with declared meaning
and posturing deliberate intent.
Our dominant process
oppresses us
with rock reality,
while our dreams attempt to
bring us underwater truths.
Emotions, crammed into words,
are not comfortable in that medium.
Dreams are
more emotionally fulfilling,
but inadequately defined
as to understanding’s need.
Such is the journey,
senses to mind,
brain to heart,
feelings to meaning,
presence to oneness . . .
