Letter from Jane to Tarazan, 2018 titled: what if my teacher was wrong?

You are human. You have feelings. You cry and enjoy watching movies. Flowers don't listen to music; they breathe, but they don't watch movies. Buildings don't enjoy sunsets.

I sometimes wish to be a part of the sea; not a water molecule, not a fish, I just want to be a part of its abstract existence. Other times, I think to myself, having a soul is fine too. Everything is soul.

“How does your soul look like?”

I don't know. How does your soul look like?

“It does not have a fixed shape

Or form of existence

It keeps changing”

 

My teacher told us once that there would be no thought if there was n't a language. I keep thinking about it. What if spoken thoughts are translated souls?

 

‘’Thoughts don't require a language.’’

 

Becasue thoughts are feelings, and feelings come from the soul.

 

"You can't express thoughts without language."

 

You can

 

“Expressing thought's is not necessary.”

 

“Your thoughts if you are expressing them through language, body language or silence give an indication of what your soul is going through”

 

That's how poetry works.

 

“But still thoughts are always changing

They are not fixed, constant”

Of course.

I am not talking about the content of the thoughts. I am generally speaking.

I completely agree with you on this, goldenscar. Language and words are but a limiting factor for communication and voicing our thoughts or expressing our feelings. Some of them help us communicate and express ourselves better, some don't. But the bottom line is that thoughts don't need a language to be conveyed. Facial expressions, subtle gestures, and most importantly, physical contact, can help convey our thoughts and feelings better than anything. This is what I feel.

I'm glad I found this piece. I like the idea behind it. The voice is a bit dejected here, but that's understandable. It's sadness and suffering that help us understand ourselves and everything around a lot better. :)
Just one question though. What do you mean when you said spoken thoughts might be translated souls?

Hi, thank you for reading. I really appreciate your kind words.
I think thoughts are essentially made from feelings. Feelings come from the soul, so thoughts originally come from the soul. I really think that it all comes from the soul. The energy, the passion, the existence..

I enjoyed reading this one. It's often hard to navigate people. What they are feeling is not always what they are saying. You have to look beyond the words.

I agree. Language is so powerful

You did a wonderful job, it projecting those emotions. Great poem in general.

The ability of understanding people through their words and even through their unspoken gestures is marvelous. I am in love with everything which praise soul and heart.
Thank you dear @dawn for your kind words

It easy to understand someone when they speak from their heart and soul. And you have that abilty to be honest and open. And be yourself.
