The Importance Of Focusing On Nothing

There’s nothing,
and we think there is nothing at all;
but listen, that echo really answers.
– Japanese Zen saying
***
You see nothing special.
You hear nothing special.
But the absence of something
is still something.
So, pay attention.
***
The answer is there.
If you will just be mindful
of what you don’t see.
Or hear.
***
Quiet, please.
