I listen, therefore I am.

Not listening to other than rain on a metal roof.....a pleasant gray noise, versus the version not so long ago still very apparent debris being hid by the green springs...

HO, as we've made our ways with the equip we have had, the senses sharp or dulled by practice made practical by the states we've been in.

Impractical perception is generally more fun. ;)

@hilde45 ....how about koans?  I suck @ limericks.....😏🙄

A  deep acoustic Koan for my friend asvjerry:

What is the sound of a bell ringing in a cage with no air ?

A clue for the meditation:

A wave is not necessarily a perceived sound and a perceived sound is not a mere wave in the air. The vibrating sound source is the qualia we perceive as a meaningful information about the vibrating sound source state itself which is not only frequencies but a recognized vibrating physical qualia. We tap a fruit to know if it is ripe or not.

Sound is meaning.Not just waves.

looping....

Talking perception, and the filters of the mind with that of the ears....

@ 3:27....I hear "and the m.....f..... closed the door!"

....kinda like that, I'll run with the mistake....*L*

No you are wrong here.

Sigh. Wrong again. Ok, I give up.

Instead, a koan:

The words all flow,
Yet meaning hides in the prose,
Mind in tangled knot.

And a limerick:

There once was a poster online,
Whose temper was awfully inclined
To flare at a tweet,
Then stomp tiny feet,
And call his profundity divine.
