Inside Looking Out
I have been stuck in this head of mine looking out for as long as I can ever remember. Sometimes I just want to get out of my head and get a bigger picture of the world. I have to wonder if I were blind and deaf would I still feel as if the center of my existence was inside my head or would I have a more over-all body experience. I forget sometimes that I am getting older on the outside which changes the way others look at me but not necessarily the way I look out at others. The nucleus of my life view seems the same as when I was even nine years old or younger. I have more experiences in my head now but I still peer out from behind this same set of eyes. From that perspective nothing has changed, I'm still in my head peering out at the world. Age has only changed the way I process what I experience, making some things simpler to understand and others more complex. Yet, it's still me, the same girl that was peering out decades ago; still here on the inside looking out.

Okay I was just thinking some more about this... isn't it odd that all our senses with the exception of touch are in our head. The ears, eyes, mouth, nose, and some skin. The center of all input... the head and even for the most part the front of the head. Ever wonder... what the heck is going on back there?
We get all this input from our heads and it is processed directly by the brain which is also in the head. So why is it that we process our emotions in our stomach. Obviously, the stomach is more empathetic than your brain. It brings rise to our pure, uncensored, unrationalized, gut emotions and then lets the brain filter out what it wants to deal with.
