No Eyes
I have no eyes to stare,
Yet I am aware.
I have no need to move.
I have no need for food.
All I need comes to me,
So I eat for free.
All I need is sun and rain –
No need for a brain.
My whole body sings
As it delights in what nature brings.

We anthropomorphise. We measure other organisms by their similarities to us. We seem to want to produce a hierarchy with us at the top.
We think our brains are special. That the electricity of consciousness can only exist in its specialised tissues.
But all cells produce electricity.
What if the specialisation of a brain is not required to create thought or consciousness?
