The Phantom Limb
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
The mind is the phantom limb of the brain. Emotions are the reflex hammer of the mind— They are the mechanism for pleasure and pain, Allowing our values and senses to be intertwined. Thought without feeling is a road without traction The strength of one’s grip comes from conviction. Emotions let us feel the weight of abstractions— They prevent us from sliding without restriction. The mind is a stagecoach drawn by the will of man; His heart the horse that trots across the land. He must drink from the trough whenever he can To regain his strength as his spirit rests its hands.
