Here is a word

Silence

Starfish

Where was the starfish before you were born?

Who are we?

Who asks the question?

This causes that

Here's another Buddhist list to ponder called the Seven Factors of Awakening:

1. Mindfulness
2. Investigation
3. Energy
4. Joy
5. Tranquility
6. Concentration
7. Equanimity

These can be seen as another chain of cause and effect. Mindfulness leads to investigation leads to energy leads to joy leads to calmness leads to absorption leads to equanimity. This causes that.

Now, the thing I like about these lists is the joy and tranquility in them, and that is a beautiful thing.

So, starting at the beginning, what is going on right now?

Some more words

Here is a list of words

1. Suffering
2. Faith or conviction
3. Joy
4. Rapture
5. Tranquility
6. Happiness
7. Concentration or absorption
8. Knowledge of things as they are (all things come and go (in a very fundamental manner), nothing is personal, life is suffering)
9. Disenchantment (worldly things no longer amuse)
10. Dispassion
11. Freedom
12. Knowledge of freedom

This is Buddhist Transcendental Dependant Arising. There is an interesting chain of cause and effect going on here, wherein one thing leads to another. Annoyingly, it's not an easy chain to follow, although it's easy to get to the first one on the list.

Dragonfly thoughts

Ask yourself, how does the dragonfly sense the world? How does it compare to our world?

You might then ask, what is reality? Or you might not...

Onion

I found the onion to be empty.
