almost unknowingly so

 

what if all the meaning of language 

is just metaphorical,

residing in just the mental state?

what if, is just in the nature of understanding.

if emotional, 

it is the mood of presence, 

presenting in passing.

is where mental is contextual,

is emotional compositional?

where mental is diagnostic,

is emotional harvesting?

where mental is educational,

is emotional entertaining entrainment offered?

where play is mental,

sport as scoring, is applied.

where play is emotional,

joy is full-body experienced.

certitude in the mind

requires conclusions and memory.

certitude in emotions

requires ongoingness as embodiment.

mental expression

is like spray-painting permanents 

on walls as images, consciousness impressing.

emotional expression 

is writing with a random stick

in a fleeting, ongoing stream, 

as wave fascinations, in passing.

in our reality, 

emotions are mind-captured

in a languaged reductionism.

mindfulness immersed in emotions

becomes speechlessly presented

yet facially present.

where mind is mouth worthy

and emotion is full-face current, 

what is forcefully undisclosed?

if consciousness is a beach, there, 

we culturally draw a horizontal to the ocean,

as if a line in the sand.

one side is land bound mental,

the other is ocean emotional.

balance honoring emotional

is a life long process.

as if float is to emotionally swim

while mental is not to drown,

even if over pronounced.

therefore we have understanding

as way before we come into emotional empathy.

compassion is our version of mental compromise.

we are so culturally out of balance

that mentality overrides 

and emotions live as undertows.

the study of linguistics is still a form of mental sidedness.

the study of feelings or emotions has no direct application.

it is subjected to mental interpretation 

as its comprehension field.

we have no means of comparable emotional account.

we don't have a field where we study mentality 

from an emotional means of perspective.

we are radically presupposed for comprehension

and emotion is to trail after.

yet, emotionality offers more bonding skills

than intelligence does by agreement.

where within do we witness these two

as cooperative in meaning and means?

they are two very different mediums

that function quite differently from each other,

one of mastery, the other of emersion. 

the consciousness is set to accept 

the workings of the mind and its modeling.

but the feeling nature is more deeply aligned with being

and more fluid with ongoingness.

thought registers in still shots taken

then into conclusions made,

while emotion is in a constant-flow format.

can one imagine a day 

without a conscious conclusion being made?

without the still-shot mentality 

as consciousness pervading.

what if, in the future, it is discovered,

that the heart-brain, being emotions, 

is superior to the mind-brain?

that emotion is a superior means 

of consciousness functioning?

each of us, for now,

is that living experiment,

almost unknowingly so . . .
