"Some thoughts about Nothingness.
Nothingness is something you can connect to. Instead of disconnecting from the Nothingness through fear--like Hamlet in Shakespeare's play--you can accept the Nothingness as something that can be embraced.
I've been thinking about what it's possible to anchor to in the world; How the only certainty is uncertainty--absurdity & the constant presence of Nothingness to fill.
It's possible to anchor to uncertainty as a sort of stability. If you can accept uncertainty & Nothingness enough, it can become a stable place, in which to exist comfortably.
When I was a kid, I spent hours considering whether Nothingness is really ever possible, and concluded that Nothing is always really Something: Even just by principle of being a concept, Nothing is labeled & given meaning, so it's Something.
Nothingness is an object that exists.
So it makes sense that you can embrace it. You don't have to run away, because accepting Nothingness won't be destruction. You can build something in it.
Just as the feeling of loneliness can come from a lack of connection with your self.... Emptiness is a space that can be filled when accepted & embraced--turned from nothing into something by yourself & making-meaning.
Acceptance of Nothingness leads to Purpose & Function. And purpose & function is powerful & hopeful for life. So, acceptance of Hopelessness leads to Hope; Acceptance of Powerlessness leads to Power....
As though, everywhere there seems to be a vacuum, there's something inside it.
Nothingness need not be feared as empty--because Nothingness is something
that can be accepted & embraced, & built upon. You don't have to disconnect from life; Meaning exists to be made, you are powerful, & hope is here."
