Empty like space

June 09, 2016 in Spontaneous

Empty like space.

Empty, like space, the wind moves yet cannot be seen or found.

Touching the skin, it is felt. It is not the wind we feel, but the difference between the presence of wind and the presence of skin.

If our skin is warm, the wind may feel cool. Or it may be the other way. So what is the meaning of warm and cool? Or of soft and hard?

There is no meaning, at all.

All described phenomena have no intrinsic quality, only relative quality.

Empty of all meaning and qualities, what is the nature of things?

Natureless. Without quality. Empty.

Where now, can we find self and other, this and that, here and there?
