Daily Nugget #127
the nothing.
i sat down @ my computer to Nugget this morning
nothing
i sat down this afternoon
nothing
i’m sitting here now
nothing.
maybe sometimes
there’s nothing.
in this thought-filled world
what a blessing for nothing.
in a jam packed day
what a relief to have a moment of nothing.
a calm, thought-absent moment
is something
not nothing.
sometimes the nothing spreads
and takes over everything.
consuming not only thoughts
but
worries
doubts
fears.
maybe the nothing
is really something?
must we fill all of our nothings with something?
our days
our homes
our minds
our bodies?
what if we stopped filling
and
allowed the nothing to grow?
could we get used to the nothing?
could we sit still long enough for it to spread?
are we willing to be alone with our inners
and face the truth of what we’ve created?
maybe we keep filling what was once
the nothing
so the nothing can’t expand.
do we fear the nothing?
take a moment to pause.
inhale thru the nose
exhale thru the mouth.
lean IN to the nothing
call it in.
allow it to expand
on the inside and out.
allow it to consume all that is not itself
and
start feeling the nothing
and
like it.
