[New-Poetry] right brain versus left brain

[Linda Sue Grimes]

In my earlier message, I got it wrong.  When she turns on her right leg, her left arm is slightly elevated, and vise versa. In other words, when she spins clockwise both right arm and right leg are elevated, when she spins counter-clockwise both left arm and left leg are elevated.  Which makes sense:  clockwise and right, counter-clockwise and left.

I think the goal is become equally right and left brained.

  Yes, I also noticed that if you pivot on the foot it changes direction in your brain. Well, the brain is a muscle, and it has different areas that can perform distinct works. I suffer from localized migranes, and if I have time I try to speculate why. It can give interesting results, but then once again, who knows what? And I can't but agree with Jason.

      Personally, i think the whole right brain/left brain thing is a bunch of
      hooey, but it's a really cool optical illusion. Also, the easiest way to 
      make her switch directions for me is to focus on the shadow of the foot
      she is standing on and see how it is turning in the other direction too.

      before us spell certain defeat. Through making ourselves strong and developing our state of life, we can definitely find a way."
