I came across this poem when I was reading a book, "tenth circle" by Jodi Picoult. The poem reminded me of the quote that Cherie gave me, about the mind and how powerful the mind is.

In the very earliest time,

when both people and animals lived on earth,

a person could become an animal if he wanted to and an animal

could become a human being.

Sometimes they were people

and sometimes animals

and there was no difference.

All spoke the same language.

That was the time when words were like magic.

The human mind had mysterious powers.

A word spoken by chance

might have strange consequences.

It would suddenly come alive

and what people wanted to happen could happen-

all you had to do was say it.

Nobody could explain this:

Thats's the way it is.

-"Magic words," by Edward Field

Inspired by the Inuit

Be careful what you wish for or what you think about.The mind is more powerful than we know.By harbouring just one thought of hatred,or that small seed of lust in our minds,it can grow and grow and what we think of can happen when we least expect it.
