If a tree falls in the forest...

...you can listen attentively to its sound, without standing in its path and letting it crush you.

  2. Laura,

    It reminds me of a picture on a coffee mug of a tired person getting up in the morning, and trying to remember the basice:...first the pants then the shoes.

  3. Madcap - the proximate trigger was finding a draft post of it, and realizing how to fix the wording. The ultimate trigger is almost forgotten; I think it was a combination of an intense family debate about the semantics of "sound," and my perpetual preoccupation with, well, intense debates that willfully miss the point.

    Tim - if that was me, it would be: where was I - getting up, or going to bed?
