High Flight 2 © 2002 RFHay; Along the lines of the old "does a tree falling in the forest make a sound if there is no one to hear it" question, would this picture of "high altitude contrails" exist if there were no one present to witness it; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

Being depends on
The Pure Witnessing Presence
I Am to Know It.

Being depends on
The Pure Witnessing Presence
I Am and You Are.

[Rich Note: At least from yours truly's perspective, the answer to the question about the "tree falling in the forest" would be: No, such a tree creates energetic vibrations that only become "a sound" when they impinge upon an human eardrum and are subsequently "conceived to be a sound."]
