Nothing! Nothing was, has, and IS what I have been doing. NOTHING. For months and months, the empty space of nothing has permeated my entire being. I sit in my home and my being doesn’t want to do anything, so I do nothing and I look around and feel guilty for doing nothing. But my being wants this and consciously it happens, nothing! I am asked, “What have you been doing?” I avoid the question, to afraid to say, NOTHING. How will another accept my answer of nothing, if I can not accept my answer of nothing; is what I ask of myself. Nothing has exhumed me and I am afraid of it. Nothing needs to be done. All is perfect, even in the moment of nothing, is what I tell myself. Pep talking my self in the assurance of nothing. How odd of a concept, but so rich in truth and meaning. Thank you for the gift of nothing; and knowing that nothing is acceptable in what I be. Blessings! ~Namaste~
Thank you Danielle. I’m reading your comment and I notice my belly relaxing. You got it! It is such a relief to notice how much there is in this space of nothingness. So much unrealized possibility, so much space and potential, and.. so much terror, too, but perhaps partly because what we have been taught is socially acceptable. To arrive to this place of certainty when you respond to someone, “I did nothing today”, is liberating. By visiting this place of “empty” or “nothing”, we keep getting closer and closer to what is our unique authentic expression in this world. Doing nothing can be a very creative, active time, even though it may not seem like it from outside. It is a place for integrating, allowing and transitioning from one perspective to another.
