First it steals your mind
And then it steals your soul
Lyrics from “Superunknown” performed by Soundgarden; Written by Chris Cornell And Kim Thayil
I am wondering what the connection between the intellect of man and the longing of the soul do to a person. Does wonder need a definition? Example: How can a caterpillar dissolve its cells in a pupa and re-emerge as a butterfly? Science can’t explain exactly how this happens. Maybe God could if he was not tired of talking to me. I think my questions grew to tough for answers.
I also wonder why the math does not add up when we try to explain the size of our universe. How there are unexplained, huge holes in the studied science of the universe. When our thinking reaches the edge of the universe, how are we to define the nothing we will surely encounter? We will invent something to define the nothing. No doubt.
Why do we question what we desire, resist what we need, race for nothing and everything at the same time? Because our mind can’t sit still and listen to the song of the galaxies, sung only to the soul? The brain hums a constant, different tune. Often off key.
The mind, without right or permission, unconsciously snatches mystery and destroys it with reason. The cool intellect of the human mind says “No sea monsters, ghosts, time travel, or miracles are allowed.” To have a space in the soul where they can be embraced can’t be tolerated. Can’t happen. Won’t allow it. Nope.
My soul and spirit have been stolen by my brain and went missing before, but it returns unexpectedly, in its own time.
Now how can I define time?

Rachel Carson (author of Silent Spring and Sense of Wonder) said something along the lines of "What matters most is not what you know, but what you feel." Instead of listening to your mind, listen to your heart.
Sometimes the noise of the mind drowns out what matters most, what the universe is trying to tell you through the senses...smell, touch, taste, sound, vision.
