A lovely piece, Sarah. Thanks for sharing. I was at the Butterfly Conservatory this week and found great peace in communing with those fragile, beautiful creatures.
For me, the different parts of the brain correspond to the seven chakras, sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, visual, etc. With that view, the left brain is the verbal brain (chakra #5), and the right brain is the visual brain (chakra #6). As you say, both sides of the brain have their special talents, and the goal is to develop the whole brain.

The left-brain/right-brain thing is kind of passe in cogsci, compare to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory
