The Mind and Body Connection and Love

 

The mind and body connection

Is one more form of balance

Still it's a matter of inflection

In the way we take our stance

Between them is no distinction

Not encounter inner hierarchy

We choose our own conviction

About the nature of this anarchy

 

This is not the anarchy of the chaotic

And arises from our complex individuation

It means the transformation of all that is despotic

Which makes transcendent sense out of our inner relation

We see exquisite balance comes from a sacred equality

Such as we find in the love that Kierkegaard defines

In our love, our physical and intellectual unity

Becomes realized and endlessly refined

 

Distortions may seem to dominate on our bodily surface

The healthy self, whole and complete, continues

This make all parts of self show it has purpose

And responds to what in our life ensues

Love gives this its sacred immediacy

Each moment eternally connected

Not just for worldly expediency

Love is sacredly cathected

 

All this is intensely realized

In all of our love's exchanges

It need not be thus idealized

It's love makes us courageous
