Life's In the Mind

The Life of the Mind is extolled by Professors Though when they think, they just guess or perhaps idly chatter There are some who won't use their brawn And 'brainiacs' who won't mow the lawn Others say 'they'll work with their Hands' as if hands are not directed by the Mind of Man All this, so far's neither here nor there Here's what I assure you Presuming you care Reality is WHAT you perceive it to be Perception's HOW you see it, subjectively Life's In the Mind 'Tis the Mind makes it live That is the Truth Which Experience Gives

Oh, I love the eloquent expression of your perspective, Gershon. 'Some folk say they work with their Hands /as if the hands are not directed by the Mind of Man' - Ingenious! A beautifully thought-provoking piece. Warmest wishes always my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

You are the very essence of sweetness, my friend. I wish I could comment on your wondrous poetry much more often, but unfortunately, the busy-ness of life these days, keeps me from spending as much time as I'd like partaking of the shining poetic gems here :(

Susan, a comment from you two days in a row is an event to treasure forever. Your warm words comfort me in the cool of the evening. Blessings, my friend, Eternal Joy ~ Gershon
