How can we describe the mind?

The thought processes we go through are intertwined and messy. My brain does not flow in a logical order. I go from one inkling of thought to a semi-related-but-really-rather-different topic in much less time than I can measure. How is this possible to describe. In the time it takes me to form the thoughts I am conveying to you through virtual paper, I am thinking of hundreds of other things: writing down my alphabet at the kitchen table, getting an English award, my brother getting an award that same year, at the same event, the pride of my family, my little sister, rap music, listening to 80’s rock with my father, Glee, my friend Kendra, the Fab Four, forensics, and so much more.

My mind goes from idea to idea without a breath in between, without putting the pencil down, or stretching the muscles in my wrists. My mind doesn’t require anymore of a break than sleeping, and even then I know my mind races. My friends tell me that I never stop thinking; even then because they hear my dreams played out in speech, or see them in my restless sleep walking.

My mind comprehends so much all at once. It wants me to communicate an abundance of material in such a short amount of time. The words tumble out of my mouth and land in an incoherent pile on the floor. Or, they tangle up and decide to stay safely in my mind, where they have a chance of rearranging themselves into an understandable array of sounds and syllabus.

My mind is not even complex as most. Not even by half. Others can memorize pages from books and scenes from their lives in perfect detail. They can relay those messages to the outside world without a slop, hiccup-p or umm. Those minds put mine to shame. They show me that in the scheme of life, in the world, my mind is humble, lowly. I am not stupid, but I am not great. There are some who can look at an equation and spout out an answer before I have even decided what formula I am supposed to use. Where does my mind land in comparison to those?

On another note:
What is the difference between our mind and soul and brain? How can we distinguish one from the next? Should we even try? God made us all with all of these things. I bet he knows what the differences are….
