is the wine taster trying to taste or get the taste
is the taste in the tongue or the wine
to answer... you see...
the way of the Wind... Breath... Spirit...
can anyone ever get anything
if you reply yes... i invite you to keep trying
you may need to until effort becomes drudgery
some are like kites trying to fly the breeze
if you reply no... i ask what can you do
something...
but what
An apple becomes an apple. An apple is. No one makes an apple an apple. An apple does not make itself an apple. A tree does not make apples apples, yet they appear.
Thus, where does an apple come from? Anywhere? Is an apple before the tree? Or after the tree? Or do they arise together?
This question of apples becoming and being apples has been discussed for many centuries by the greatest intellectuals. Sages and saints have entertained, at length, the matter. Religions have given us their answers to the conundrum. It still remains, and people the world over keep asking it.
when you answer one question 1,000 rise from the ground
with one explanation 1,000 fall from the sky
you cannot say a tree makes a tree without 'what makes a tree a tree'
if God is God where did God come from
did Jesus really walk on water
why is there something rather than nothing
how can energy be at the same time, particle and wave
this never ends
except in silence
and, it would be fitting... too a big belly laugh or a gentle smile
have you noticed the sitting Buddha always wears a subtle smile...
he knows something about where all the questions come from and where they end
