Dying Trees

On the one hand we have the totality of experience,
Which displays an incredibly rich texture,
Which is zoomable, at seemingly any point,
To seemingly an ever increasing degree of resolution.

On the other hand, we wonder what trees have fallen
Without ever having made a sound.
Candidate # 34,985-Br was recently ruled out
When casts made by nearby wood boring beetles
Were analyzed
(Certain species change their direction in predictable ways
When subjected to loud noises.)

Analysis of Ancient Recordings inadvertently created by deaf potters
As they scribed their pots upon the wheel
Has ruled out several more candidates...

Can you rule out certain waves that wash upon distant shores
As not having been created or influenced by the sound of falling trees?

Does the question have relevance if you don't think about it?

Can a Bodhisattva relieve the suffering of all sentient beings
If some of them suffer in silence?

Perhaps we should settle this like Real Men,
On the dance floor;
Morris, if you please...

Oh, I almost forgot (without a whimper) that this post
Was originally meant to explain how Creationism and Communism and Morris Dancing
Can still exist and even gain adherents.
Somebody heard something...
Somehow I got off the track
(To where the trees are so jumbled it's hard to tell the living from the dead,
And the forest groans and whispers and hums
In Silence so thick,
You can hear your own blood
Singing a symphony of corpuscles
Banging,
Banging the drum.)
