This Friday is an important day in history: The United States will have a new president, and I will be in the studio recording more originals. The tabloids are debating which will have a greater impact on humanity - so I will celebrate with a list of questions:
- What is Change?
- Where is my mind?
- How long is our life?
- How many roles do we play, job titles do we own, impacts do we make?
- How many roles do I play that I deny?
- If I ride a horse, and wear trousers, than are pants a form of transportation?
- What was my name before my parents decide to conceive me?
- How old are my thoughts?
- Will my brain run out of storage - can I choose what to delete?
- Am I a cause, or am I an effect?
- Am I both, a percentage of each?
- At what age did I realize that 100% of my mind was made up of effects from causes that I haven't weighed in on yet?
- How have I effected people by the way I was before I examined how others have effected me?
- Does my mind decide how to be effected by causes without me?
- Am I my mind, or am I the gardener?
- If I eat an apple and plant a seed, do I own the tree, or does the sun and the rain own it?
- If I plant it in the desert and water it myself, is it mine?
- Do my parents own me, or do their parent's own us?
- I feed myself and take care of me, so do I own me?
- Are the questions, the answers, or the context more important?
- When do ingredients become dough, dough become bread, and bread become pizza?
- When does a stranger become a friend?
- Is trust an honor, a verb, a basic medium for treatment?
- Do I trust my heart to beat while I sleep?
- Does my heart trust me to notice what I eat?
- Does my dog know that I eat other animals that look like they do?
- Does my dog trust me, or does it trust me to feed it?
- Do my children trust me?
- Do plants have a conscious choice to grow?
- Is that why they don't choose to live in my home?
- Am I an animal?
- Do Animals know they eat?
- Do Plants hurt when they're thirsty?
- Do more animals die of climate change, or humans die of alcohol abuse?
- When I read this silently in my head, do the words echo into the things I read yesterday while I sleep?
- If I change my ethics and values today, does the sound of the echo change?
- If sea levels are rising, and 2 million years ago half of North America was covered in ice, why do we use the same land/sea maps?
- Am I arrogant?
- Is there a center of the universe, or is my thought the center of reality's now - walking on a treadmill in the Milky Way?
