What does this think about that?Nothing thinks about anything.Does the earth have consciousness of its stones and plants?If it did, it would be people. . .Why am I worrying about this?If I think about these things,Ill stop seeing trees and plantsAnd stop seeing the EarthFor only seeing my thoughts...Ill get unhappy and stay in the dark.And so, without thinking, I have the Earth and the Sky.
