Week Word- Nothing

I would love to be able to say something clever about nothing.

Maybe try to incorporate quantum mechanics, the general theory of relativity, the big bang theory or vacuum energy.

My brain gets tangled in knots when I try to wrap it around so many theories and concepts and I just try to look for the simplicity in things. Sometimes I wonder though, how amazing it is that some things that seem so simple can be intensely complex at the same time.

It is such an ambigous word and overwhelming to ponder- nothing. Yet it can also describe something trivial. How is that?

Is 'Nothing' to be feared? As in a vast Nothingness, a void, a black hole...

Like "The Nothing" from the movie -The Never Ending Story- where 'the Nothing' is inescapable and it consumes almost all of Fantasia leaving only floating bits?

Is 'Nothing' to be desired? How does one think of 'nothing'? Is nothing idyllic?

If I had no senses, I would see, smell, hear, taste and touch nothing.

I guess there would be no point to this temporal existence.

Would I also have no emotions? No sense of wonder?

Nothing can fill up space.

Nothing is a pronoun.

Nothing is something.

you can hear it

after a heavy snowfall on an early morning before everything is awakened

you can see it

paint it

it fills in the space as

sfumato around a figure

dancing air

alive, real,

it's really something.

but most important

you can choose

to believe that

what may seem like nothing

is something

even if you can't see it

or hear, or smell, or taste, or touch it

Thank you Hanna for a thought provoking word. :)
