Nothing, herself

The past few months I have been learning from Nothing, herself
Staring at the void while she begs,
Stay in me
Nothing means staring out the window and crying
Nothing means cooking and letting the energy of my body move through food
Nothing means reading for pleasure, sometimes
Nothing means feeling anxious to work and creating more space for nothing
instead
Nothing means trusting money will appear
Nothing means 12 days in the gym
in 4 months
The more time created for Nothing, the more bodies are able to heal
The more the corners of our wounding are dug up and placed out in front of us
For examination
My body craves her and
my mind resists her
I have been not working
I have been learning from Nothing
Learning to respect her the way climbers respect the mountains
Awed
The universe may have exploded out of Nothing
That’s how powerful she is
Business
Is a way to hide from deeper excavation
Busy ness
Business ?
I suspect
That you claim you want nothing, but you are afraid of it, actually
Because surrendering to nothing
Is terrifying
