Nothing- A thought over something
September 02, 2014
Nothing!! That’s a strange word. 4 pm at the coffee shop on
a Sunday evening, I asked her,” What’s between us?” Nothing”, she whispered
while texting to her friend. Nothing!!” How could there be nothing?” I thought
to myself. I drew back on my chair and felt the breeze hit the chimes at the shop’s
door. The chimes were singing now and the air glided from the door and
slithered between our coffee mugs. Between the gap where there was “nothing”!!
Nothing!! I was still whispering it to myself … softly! A series of thoughts stroked
my thinking and I went from air to molecules to atoms to electrons to quartz
trying to find her “nothing”.
Nothing!! Having my eyes still
fixed at the gaps, I thought if air existed between everything, what
existed between the air molecules?? Nothing!? I put
my palm between the gaps to feel the air again! Vacuum, a voice screamed in my
head and my thoughts rolled on an article over vacuum and space, does
nothing mean vacuum? Does vacuum mean not having anything? Then how does our
universe have vacuum and still have something? A bunch of lilies, set of tissue
papers, 2 spoons, knitted cloth covering, I saw nothing of them but just the
two coffee mugs. Sweet coffee aroma mixed in the fragrance of the raspberries
from the pie, I felt nothing of them but just the air gliding through the gap,
still wondering what nothing is? Does nothing mean having something so minute
that it could adeptly hid itself? Does nothing mean having something and not reckoning
its presence? Does nothing mean not meaning nothing at all? May be yes…yes!! So
there is always a minute something in every nothing!
I looked at her, chuckled and
whispered, yeah nothing…… may be “nothing”!!!
