Life Forces (CGI by the author)
I was intrigued to read recently (New Scientist) that when Neurons fire in the brain they usually spark activity of other neurons in wholly different parts of the brain, so it is difficult to track how ideas come together from disparate parts of our amazing brains. I was engaged in thinking about the overwhelming immensity of the Universe (!) and realised just how diverse the ideas were that I was drawing on - and this brief rhyme came together just a bit unexpectedly. So you’ll find links in to other reflections on the marvel of our brains’ working and hope you might be inspired to give thanks for your own brains. The first link is a thanksgiving poem/ song.
Deep In My Brain.
Deep in my brain.
many neurons are firing,
some of them orderly,
some of them wild:
some bear the hallmarks
of years of experience,
some arouse yearnings
to act like a child!
To consider the nature of our brains in a longer poem/ song, go to Give Thanks to God for Human Brains.
There is also a children’s song that you can access from here, it is called Our Amazing Brains
