A Koan, A Riddle, And A Major Warning
"When two hands are struck together, a sound is heard. What is the sound of one hand?"
My answer is to silently gesture around me and to point at other things making sounds. For when one ceases to produce sounds, one can then hear other things including the soundless sound of silence. Just as silencing the conscious mind by giving it a koan allows us to hear the soundless sound of Zen.
"On each side of a wall stands a brother. They look and they look, but they can't see each other." What's the answer my poppets?
Finally, I have written before that 11:11 is the best time for time travelers to make their voyages. Soon, it will be the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the eleventh year. At eleven minutes past eleven on that day, there is a chance that time will reverse itself.If that happens, existence as we know it will end. I recommend stockpiling as many wind up clocks and watches as you can, in order to help keep time moving forward.
