On my draft: a little more than a year ago

"I feel calm today. Some things irk me yet I learned to let go. My defense mechanism is trained over the years." - 11/24/08 7:01 pm

What happened that day?

In 2010, I wish for a better year than 2009. A better life, a better world, a fulfilling place, when I can be at peace.

May your families and mine be well and healthy, happy and prosperous, filled with joy and laughter, growing with wisdom and youth, may all beings be.

Enjoy!

Sound
I asked a friend
"When a tree falls in the forest,
and no one is there to hear it,
does it make a sound?"

He replied,
"There was a sound
when I was thinking of the question."

I replied,
"I just said there is no one there to hear it,
why did you put yourself there?"

Sound is defined by the hearer,
It is the vibration of air in your ear, in your mind,
that gives rise to hearing.

Reality is "defined" by its experiencer.
Delusion is "shaped" by its experiencer.
