Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required (“Animal Spirit”, 2018, original encaustic) Animal Mind Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to be an animal. Of course I am an animal, But I wonder what it’s like To not have the human layer of mind The one that thinks, reflects, recollects Compares, contrasts and cogitates. Then I remember what it’s like to dream Where effortlessly I experience whatever All with my animal mind. I know it’s my animal mind Because as vivid as it may be when dreaming it It quickly fades like mist in the morning sun If I don’t deploy my human mind To store it away in some available white matter. It makes sense that this sense of simply experiencing Is what all animals share With maybe just a few having some capacity For the self reflection we so love about ourselves. What is really going on here in the layers of mind? Is it even knowable? Of course it is! Because it is all within us! Within our brain the two halves That make up a whole Include the nonverbal, nonrational side Of sensory perception And its opposite The side of data processing, filing and recall. In the day the left side rules But in the night the right holds sway. So my night is like my dog’s day Fantastically wonderful and fresh While my day is just another day Of an endless story I tell myself A story my dogs don’t even have a mind Let alone ears to hear Beyond the soothing tones of a human lullaby.
