it's that wind noise that the hand makes through the air

This is a classic Zen koan. I can clap with one hand, for my hands are better-coordinated than most people's. It makes the same noise as two hands clapping but not as loud. I suppose it's about 1/4 the volume.

One hand clapping captures the wind, cups it within itself and the sound of lonliness. One hand clapping is a very lonely thing. You need a pair for the world to hear you. Whoa pretty profound, huh? I ate quesadillas that's why lol

Go clap someone in the head, and get back to us on that.

Not really silence...there would be a slight noise from the air movement.

Fingers tapping the bottom of the hand.

OK, you impressed someone (not me). If I ignore you, will you go away or maybe go play in traffic or with a live wire or a poisonous snake or...?
