Nowhere and no man's land
Opposite to something
There is nothing to say about nothing
Hopping around looking for what can't be found
Is there any potential in the void?
No clear explantions about nothing
Got to find a path back to the reality of existence

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to
strawberry fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
...

Nothing to do to save his life
call his wife in
Nothing to say
but what a day
how's your boy been

Nothing to do
it's up to you
I've got nothing to say
but it's OK

There's nothin' you can do
that can't be done
Nothin' you can sing
that can't be sung
Nothin' you can say
but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

Nothin' you can make
that can't be made
No one you can save
that can't be saved
Nothin' you can do
but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

There's nothin' you can know
that isn't known
Nothin' you can see
that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be
that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

And the Walrus sings "Here's another clue for you all ..." :victory: :smirk:

@Jack Cummins @180 Proof

Brilliant, the both of you!

180 Proof got mathematical (0), but the two of you eventually ended up in the world of poetry - Jack Cummins' is an original (way to go! Jack) and 180 Proof's looks like it was authored by someone else (perhaps a poet I've not heard of).

Mathematics: There are two kinds of nothing in math viz. Zero, 0 and the Null set, { }. Here's a syntactically and semantically sound set: {0}. Note: {0} treats nothing as something (Greeks never got past that hurdle. The Indians managed to do so, Brahmagupta was one of the pioneers of mathematics with zero).

The usual state of affairs with minds: We're constantly thinking about something; {I'm hungry}, {Sex}, {daughter}, {Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems}, you get the idea. Zen Buddhism, an amalgamation of Buddha & Lao Tzu (compatible, interesting, oui?), is famous for it's mindblowing Koans. The idea, as some say, is to empty the mind and what better way to do that than to make the practitioner contemplate on contradictions ( +x & -x = 0), let the two halves of an antinomy cancel each other out and what's left is this: { } aka, if I'm correct, mushin no shin (mind without mind) or shoshin (beginner's mind).

What sayest thou?

:ok:
