Circling the Hemispheres

Circling the hemispheres
Our brain sends messages
As we see, think, feel, and hear
Unto our inner edges

Upon the left a word's said anew
And on the right emotion's felt
That in the forefront it is processed through
Till a need for action's felt

As we are moved then more to do
The word circles again
To light us up all anew
As an eternal friend

What word in us could shower
And fill us up with such a need?
Flowing though us with power
The word "temple" -holy indeed

All those who are addicted
Bypass this trail of thought
And the forefront is afflicted
In fact it's used for naught

They in deed have self inflicted
Wounds so thoughts cannot chart
But, when faith is reinspected
Emotions clear a path to start

The forefront lights anew
And the past is then inspected
That remorse might then flow through
As the conscience is detected

Those who pray and mediate
Will find strengths theirs to own
As in truth this activates
The best part of the brain known

Those in constant stress
Lead the brain to confusion
And bypass being impressed
For the forefront's in exclusion

Fear, too, shuts off this path
And gone is organized thought
To be stuck where you're at
Till with prayer it is fought

This is where gender is schooled
And our character is developed
That as we work and strive for good
Our talents light with love enveloped

thoughts from-
A Brain Gone Wrong
Dr. Dean Belnap
It is so interesting to read about the
development of the forefront of our brain
and the importance of family, baptism at 8,
all the youth programs, the 12 step program,
the performance of conscience, and the ability
to learn from mistakes all start to make sense

Boyd K. Packer
The Temple, the Priesthood
Ensign, May 1993, 18

Say the word temple. Say it quietly and reverently. Say it over and over again. Temple. Temple. Temple. Add the word holy. Holy Temple. Say it as though it were capitalized, no matter where it appears in the sentence.

Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!

May God grant that we may be worthy to enter there and receive the fulness of the blessings of His priesthood, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
