The Further Adventures Of Nothing

Meaning everything, because you 

can’t get there from here, but you

sure keep trying, vainly as it says

in the Bible and Buddhism. The 

best we do is enjoy the ride, and

it is a ride because it never stops

anywhere for very long. What 

happens between birth and death 

is called Bardo, a transitional state,

which implies it’s always changing,

even minutely from moment to 

moment. Life goes from nothing to

nothing with not very much in-

between..we can’t even remember

what happened except for the events

that seemed a big deal…

So, nothing keeps happening

without much notice since we’re all

so busy…energy trying to make it

as matter…and it’s distracting to

consider that it might all be for naught…

that when we leave our lives it will be

like leaving the theatre, and whatever 

impact the show might have had will

be  mostly forgotten  the next day.
