That was beautifully written. Poetic. It brings a religious
   quality to nothing, It's probably what keeps me agnostic and why
   I cant go to the polarities. I've seen similarly beautiful
   writings about nothing, about randomness, about God, about
   consciousness, about mathematics, about logic... and they've
   become members of a set to me. I can appreciate the beauty of
   what you said with different nouns that are in the set for what
   they represent, which is that "something else". quality. I think
   the word in my mental set that I would replace 'nothing' with*
   would be uncertainty or potential or maybe possibilities - but
   nothing works as well. In any case, I like what you wrote there.
   My favorite word for it though is, "the gap". Nothing mystical
   about the gap to me but I find gaps fascinating wherever I go.
   Always something interesting in gaps. People put caulking in
   gaps to seal them up. Yet an open gap in the skin reveals a
   wound - exposes what's underneath it. A gap inbetween a wall and
   a floor that's outside, eventually a plant finds its way in, and
   life grows in the gap. I'm just fascinated by gaps and how
   humans (including myself) do strange things like try to seal up
   gaps.
