Somethingness

Blindness conceals itself behind nothing.

Nothing is there, but nothing is missing. Nothing is seen, but more importantly, nothing is not seen.

Contrast disrupts nothingness and brings somethingness into existence to us.

Presence in the midst of absence and absence in the midst of presence are equally capable of disrupting nothingness.

But presence in the midst of presence and absence in the midst of absence are nothing.

Same against same means nothing. White against white and black against black have the same effect.

We are blind to time because we are always inside time and never not inside it.

We are blind to space because we are always inside space and never not inside it.

We are blind to spirit because we are always inside spirit and never not inside it.

Yet we sense that there is an outside. Who knows how we sense it, or what such an outside could be?

And who knows what else we are inside and cannot conceive of not being inside?
