Interesting discussion....

As to the physics of the bore
Bore acoustics may bore some
And inspire others
And yes, create that 6 million dollar shakuhachi
But not the virtuoso
That goes back to blowing ro
For hours, months, decades

Science grew by acting against reason
It must be just as mystical as Zen
Did the scientific method ever stop
 Einstein, Newton, Galileo
And other masters from their goals?
And a scientific bore may someday equal
the one in a Zen monks' dream
Either way it all goes back to ro
You gotta blow....sorry, gotta go
Starting to lose the flow....
