Who Beats My Heart?
I can't keep track of my atoms.
I don't even know the number of cells in the tip of my
pinkie.
I have no idea how to command my molecules, "Rearrange
yourselves for I have just drunk wine!"
At night when I'm sleeping, who breathes me?
Who beats my heart, and how much do I owe him?
When I meditate, who orders my neurons to fire in synchrony? Who
whispers, "chill out" to my adrenal gland?
And when I wake up in the morning, who shouts to my
pituitary, "Less water, more fire!"
I asked a scientist to
explain all this, but he couldn't measure the light-years in a single atom.
I asked a guru, but he just mumbled in some lost language full of
M's.
How do you expect me to balance my checkbook when I can't count my electrons, or tell you who performs this body of miracles?
