sitting in church this morning, i was absentmindedly running through arguments pertaining to matter and origin, immortality and mortality, when i suddenly thought, "what if there was nothing?"

immediately an image came to mind to illustrate this nothingness - an empty, forever black. but if there was nothing, there would be no matter or radiation, therefore no space or light (or lack thereof.) not even the concept of nothing would exist.

so in my mind i saw an endless grey, still endless, but seeming smaller.

this made me laugh. "i am incapable of really understanding nothing," i mused. "how cool is that?"

i love being a child.

my mind is on a skittish overdrive. there are times (like this) when things come to mind at random, and i am totally detatched from reality and any task at hand and everything right before me. my mind is on one thing in particular, though i never actually think about that one thing, but all the world reverberates around it and dazzles and amuses me as if i knew all its secrets and saw right through the lies, but still there's a wide-eyed interest in the simplest, most basic things, and everything spins around and it's beautiful.
