Your brain unlocks the letters;
your mind unlocks their meaning.
Your brain can puzzle
with sounds, but your mind
with its keen, tense intuition
will surpass the senses:
If you only read for your brain,
your mind is seldom transfixed...
If only sense is in your brain,
your mind will never make
the meaning it most desires.
You must explore, probe
past those borders, beyond…
…for your brain can piece-
together-letters, but only
your mind can learn language.
