Hello dear friends,

Here I sit, listening to the ruckus of construction workers outside the door, and I find myself wondering--what is the difference between the three?

Or, to put it another way, "why is it that weeds only grow where we don't want them to?"

I think that anything can be a "weed" or "flower," "construction ruckus" or "music," or it can all just be as-it-is-ness, depending on the person seeing or hearing the phenomena.

Maybe for you, Modest Mussorgski is an unholy racket.
Maybe for me, Eminem is a plague to my ears (come to think of it...)

But both are sound, noise, music--all at once, and not at all. Just phenomena.

This is what I think. What do you think?

Much metta,

Perry
