no name calls me, no shadow waits for me at anyone’s door. I have shed the mirror of people, I no longer see myself in their eyes, nor weigh my soul by their scales. I am nothing… and this is my sacred emptiness, this vastness untouched by definition. When I fell from everyone’s account, an unseen hand carried me, and led me into the secret of being. No chains remain, no fear survives for what belongs to no one can never be lost. I am nothing yet in this nothingness, I am closest… to everything.

I am nothing
no name calls me, no shadow waits for me at anyone’s door. I have shed the mirror of people, I no longer see myself in their eyes, nor weigh my soul by their scales. I am nothing… and this is my sacred emptiness, this vastness untouched by definition. When I fell from everyone’s account, an unseen hand carried me, and led me into the secret of being. No chains remain, no fear survives for what belongs to no one can never be lost. I am nothing yet in this nothingness, I am closest… to everything.
