What do you allow and what do you suppress in the privacy of your own mind? Does the habit of limiting and restricting input – light, sound, chaos, profusions, and multiplicities – extend to keeping your own thoughts at bay?
We are unobserved inside our own minds.
What if, in the pure privacy of your mind, you allowed yourself to be a god – brave, bold, benevolent, and endless? There’s room for everything in there. In here. Within.
We can go far, we can safely edge our toes out over the lip of too far, and yet never leave our cranial homeland. We can…
- Redress wrongs
- Explore parallel universes
- Live out other lifetimes
- Take what-ifs to the nth degree
- Tempt Fate
- Try on different personalities
- Wildly mutate time and reality
- Follow detours
- Grow old or young
- Glimpse the outermost edges
- Unshackle and unharness
- Flex the rust from timidity
- Emerge victorious after all
- Probe mysteries and depths
- Become smaller or larger
- Enchant people
- Rewrite history
- Evoke strong feelings
- Move cities from A to B
- Predict the future
- Resurrect the dead
- Fall in love a thousand times a day
- End wars
Where does your mind end? What point have you stopped travelling beyond in your mind? Your imagination, the holy infinity in your head, can show you everything missing in your outer life, in multi-sensory detail, with amendments, revisions, special effects, instant replays, and timeless certainty.
What roams free in the timeless anti-history of your unexplored mind? Find out. Follow the arrowhead at the end of the minute hand, out past the edge of the clock.

This is poetry! This is one soul singing to the rest of us. This is magic and love and creativity. Thank you Grace!
Thanks, Jo. It’s endlessly interesting seeing what comes up to the surface to be expressed when I step out of the way.
Dear Grace,
‘Cranium Sanctum’ took my breath away…followed closely by bubbles of glee.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
