Yeah

A couple of things this beautiful spring morning...

1. Last night's dream 'solved' (at least temporarily!) my wishy-washyness as to the answer of that age-old Zen question: If a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound?
The answer I finally thought through (dreamed about) last night was that the answer was YES, there is something first, the universe was never empty. And I thought of this quite strangely, in that I thought about someone's ears being clogged and how just because they can't hear it doesn't mean it's not there.
