"It's a mess in here," says the kind scientist butler in your brain as he flips on the kitchen lights.
You've been dragging in crops and carcasses, weeds in barrels, some firewood and incendiary garbage, I guess, to dry out and burn. He ties on an apron that says "USE IT ALL" and begins to sort and portion. You do things for your brain all day and night. Kiss, pray, smoke, drink, work, poop, breathe, sleep, worry, relax, read, care, protect, defend, attack, retreat The things you do for your brain are all very detectable, but they're end products of a system of internal signals and responses. Our lifetimes' science is still in the early stages of stocking data for the answer to "What does your brain do for you? How and Why?" That's just where we're at. Not "there" yet. It seems safe to trust the brain is FOR, primarily, keeping us alive. The heart is in there, and the soul too. Locating and savoring the mechanisms for this purpose may be the key for a stronger, healthier emotional cuisine. "Midwest Recipes for Seasonal Affective Disorder" isn't very scientific. But this year, it's attempting to contact and externalize some of the mechanisms. I guess we might've been marching them out all along (sup Aphrodite?). I've reached a point in my mental health process where I can't just let the program run on its own anymore. This year, I'm hoping to pull out an interface. Starting with an apple. Which is perfect in every way its concept and body affects my brain. You're not crazy. It's fall in the Midwest. There's chores to do. Love, Lisa
