… we can no longer create sentences, with their nicely organized subjects, verbs and punctuation? What emerges is the flow of poetry, rhyming or not.
… the sounds coming out of our mouths are not longer called “talking”? Instead melodies flow and we soar into the song.
… our lips can no longer press against each other? The mouth slowly opens and stays there in a round “o”.
… our fingers can no longer close around an object, holding it tight? All is open to the world, inviting a tiny bird to land.
… the ground is no longer touching the soles of our feet? We are aloft, taken by the breeze to parts unknown.
… our arms can’t stop growing, rendering shirt sizes irrelevant? We reach out across the world, wrapping ourselves around limitless beings, and drawing them close.
… writing posts on Facebook no longer exists? We eight billion are connected instantly in thought and love.
