Ecstasy!I think the cool thin...A Paul Simon quote! Ecstasy!<BR/><BR/>I think the cool thing about the brain is that we don’t know much about it at all. I was reading an article about phantom limbs recently. Apparently there was something of a paradigm shift going on because they realized that even people that were born without limbs can sometimes have phantom pain. Now that’s rather mind blowing, don’t you think? What the researchers got from that is that the brain is hardwired to believe that you are a whole person with all your parts, whether you’ve got ‘em or not. So the old theories about the severed nerve endings causing the phantom pain don’t seem to hold; it’s your own brain that causes the pain—it’s literally all in your head. (And that explains a lot of other types of pain in my opinion. I mean, how many times do we worry about something that has no basis in reality. A phantom worry, if you will.) Anyway, sorry to go on…<BR/><BR/>Along come a young girl<BR/>She’s as pretty as a prayer book<BR/>Sweet as an apple <BR/>On Christmas Day<BR/>I said, “Good Gracious!<BR/>Can this be my luck?<BR/>If that’s my prayer book,<BR/>Lord let us pray!”<BR/><BR/>Keep on posting, Erin. I love reading your thoughts.<BR/>ELElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788077383916382351noreply@blogger.com
