Shining threads

Be nothing

Be nothing - though you can wear many hats and take on many roles

See nothing - though a dance of images plays on your eyes

Feel nothing - though emotions fluctuate through the day

Breathe nothing - though odours vary from perfume to smoke

Taste nothing - though you eat from a banquet fit for the gods

Say nothing - though arrangements of words fall from your lips

Do nothing - though you move in the world, responding appropriately

Touch nothing - though your hands move over a range of surfaces

Believe nothing - though you interact with a harem of beliefs

Know nothing - though facts and lies come knocking on your door

Hear nothing - though music and chatter provide a soundtrack to your day

Remember nothing - though memories flicker in and out of consciousness

Learn nothing - though each day brings a new configuration of elements

Create nothing - though your hands mould all manner of artifacts

Ask nothing - though your questions penetrate far and wide

Give nothing - though you offer your skills and presents to others

Receive nothing - though you accept the gifts that life offers

Destroy nothing - though you let go of things to clear new space

Imagine nothing - though your imagination can see all possibilities

Try nothing - though your curiosity takes you in exciting directions

Embrace nothing - though everything is your lover
