Greetings Everyone!
The things of the world exist, but only for as long as we see, feel and sense them.
There is the old philosophical question about the tree
falling in the woods and the sound of the tree being heard if there was no one
in the woods to hear.
Definitely, the tree makes a sound, whether or not
there is anyone in the forest, because we are all here on the earth, seeing,
feeling, sensing. It doesn’t matter where we are on the earth; it matters only
that we are, somewhere.
The atmosphere of humans makes it all real: the
forest, the tree, the listener. And that
same atmosphere, in turn, makes possible the posing of silly questions such as
these.
But, of course, the fact that we even need to pose
questions at all illustrates how far we are from actually seeing, feeling, or
sensing.

By the way, if you purchase my new book on Amazon, you
can leave a review- do this if you can; I'd love to hear from my friends & colleagues if they liked the book- it sure was a fun book to
write!
