I am a dynamic combination of organs. I sense and then I perceive. My rudimentary understanding of the brain is centered on the premise that the brain acts as a synthesizer, interpreter, distributor and storehouse of information.

We tend to romanticize our bodies. (Generalization- you, like me, may not feel this way) We feel that we cannot be just the sum of our parts because that implies that there is nothing unique or sacred within our physical selves…

But I think that the unique combination of organs and the particular experiences of those organs are exactly what makes us sacred. There will never be the exact Paige combination of organs again. That's why my brain is my best friend... I think.
