Hi Folks:

This is from Jane's book, "The God of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto". I really like it...

Love,
Mike.


If Toes Had Eyes

If toes had eyes,
then I could see
how my feet know where to go,
but toes are blind.
And how is it that my tongue
speaks words it cannot hear?
Because for all its eloquence,
the tongue itself is deaf,
and flaps in soundlessness.

If tongues had brains of their own,
then I could understand
how they can talk of calculus
without an education,
without ever learning grammar.
And who taught my fingers how to spell?
For as I write, they form the letters
as if they’d read a spelling book
or studied vocabulary.

Scientists and men of words
tell us that the brain
carries messages,
telling each body part
just what its purpose is,
so when a new brain starts up,
it knows it’s made for thinking.
But how does it know what thoughts are,
if it’s never thought a thought before?
And why does the new tongue begin to cry,
when it can’t hear the sound it makes,
but lies, deaf, in the brand new mouth?
What moves the tongue?

If all we are is flesh,
and flesh is made of molecules,
then how wise atoms are
to teach themselves how to walk,
and train mute ears to hear
words that they can never speak.

:laugh: Thanks for sharing this poem. I'm always looking for Jane's poems. As I don't have all of her/Seth's books when I find one published on Internet I really get amazed!

Light and Grace,
Lu
