In the first place, I take it as a matter of faith that there is no nothing.

Not now.

"The earth WAS without form and void and darkness covered the face of the deep."

Not now and never again.

There is always something.

What we perceive as nothing, that which is beyond our comprehension, is not formless and void ( תֹ֙הוּ֙
וָבֹ֔הוּ tohu – wa -bohu)   Even "in the beginning," before form, there was Word and Word created wisdom.

So, when there was nothing, there was all that would be, existing as something in the Mind of God.

That which can neither be created nor destroyed occupies the vastness of unknown and uncharted territories of space. There is that which we perceive to perceive not – empty space, but space is something – if only possibility.

There is no nothing … only what we perceive as nothing or cannot perceive or conceive at all. Can we not receive what we cannot perceive?

What we cannot know, we can contemplate, celebrate, and cogitate.

Better still, to meditate and anticipate and thus, receive as a gift.

The great gift of nothingness is the "somethingness" of it all. The vastness of spaciousness is the space to celebrate grace. The wonder of life is wonder itself which we enter into as worship of the One.

It makes no "sense" to us and need not. It leads to trust and trust to childlike embrace. We enter into the embrace of grace through faith and never stop exploring.

If that is all true, and I take it to be without fully comprehending even my own thoughts or words, then there is also that inner space to be explored. There is that realm of possibility where we perceive only emptiness and void. It is taking form because Word has spoken there is no nothing there.

We might feel inclined to be "know nothings," but we exist in a universe where there is no nothing.

Let us bathe in the beauty of that which we cannot fully know until we know as we are known.

You are not yet all that you are becoming, but you are much more than you think.

That is all … or is it?
