Imagine, if you can, what it is like to have no
possessions
at all.

Nothing.

Very few people are able to imagine such a thing;
to have nothing at all.
Well let us, you and I, try to imagine something a hundred times harder—
Not just to have nothing at all,
but when there was nothing at all.
The very beginning of time.

The dawn of history.
Page one.

Nothing at all.

The earth itself, without form
A void.
Only an emptiness, formless,
a dark, endless waste of water

No living thing. No plant or tree. No bird or animal.
Nothing.
This is before people, … before anything at all.
A void.
Sitting silent, still.
And then,…

Nothing.
