looping logic

It's funny. This is not the first time that it's occured to me that 
Looping 
was like solipsism; always returning to itself.

The wind chimes are LIKE music. LIKE. Without knowing what *actual music* 
is 
[however narrowly or widely we define it] you could not even make this 
metaphor. The chimes are like music. The sunset is like a picture. The 
dawn 
arrived LIKE a hungry child [or do we create a hungry child when we 
experience morning so].

Also. We all, very often, listen, unintentionally, to crappy music that we 
didn't *call into being*.

I'll change the word to what I wanted it to be originally: *Will*. You 
don't 
*will* your chimes into music anymore than you *will* Frank Zappa to come 
out of your walkman. You did not *will* those porch chimes [and winds and 
distant trucks and clacking shutters] into being music. They were, and 
remain, what they are.

It sounds like a minor point, but it isn't. In removing the notion of 
original *will* you leave only yourself to replace it. You ain't the 
unmoved 
mover. You make music when you make music. You don't make music when you 
decide to perceive something pre-existing as music.
