Flower and Garbage

Rachael bought some really beautiful flowers yesterday. Within a week, those beautiful flowers will be in the compost bin. The compost will be used to grow new flowers. It gets me thinking. Am I looking at beautiful flowers or garbage? They are just manifestation of the same things base on conditions. One is not different than the other. Of course, there are other ingredients that make this happen, such as water, sunlight, soil and etc. You see the flower, you see the compost, you see the sunlight, you see the water ...

That kinds of answer the age old question: does the egg or chicken come first? Well they are the same thing. The egg is within the chicken and the chicken is within the egg. If they are the same, there is no question of which come first.

Does the rain come first of the cloud come first? Well again, they are the same thing with different manifestation base on condition. I guess with this reasoning and seeing all things are connected in some way, we can answer ANY what come first question. Clever, isn't it?
