In this thought experiment
Adults, at least,
have developed three types of attraction
and attractiveness,
chemistry,
positive and negative
and in-between synergy:
Heart attraction,
romantically associated
with touch and feeling,
Mind attraction,
more cognitively associated
with sight and sound
and, perhaps, LeftBrain dissonance
and more competitive
predative instincts
of win v lose zero-sum
calculation
And root sexual attraction,
primordially associated with taste
and smell,
swallowing
and letting go
biochemistry,
neurologically informed
and exforming passions,
rhythms,
communion and disunion patterns,
co-passion v dis-passion communication structures,
win+win bilaterally resilient
and lose v lose resistant
pleasure v displeasure
ease v disease
These three conjoined
into dipolar associative co-relationships
anthropological and ecological,
spiritual and natural
sacred and organic
metaphysical and physical
passion and pleasure
Sage and Muse
crown and root bicameral intelligence
combined within each PeaceWarrior
heart
touching Other sentience
and feeling Self consciousness.
BE CREATIVE
Being creative
May be addictive
To think right-
Is less might
Rest your muscle
To pen a puzzle
Let your words scream
Bring to pass a dream
Strike men in the heart
Thrust through them like dart
Make the world reason new
But make those that ponder few
Turn your ink to a print,
Let your lines run a sprint
Form a thoughtful world of track
That their pace may run the track
Make the world innovative
And let their thoughts associative
For the word makes the world
So pen and make it called
That the living-
May reason
And those that read
May lead
