I was running today,
alone in the woods
in the cold morning sun...
And, the thought in my mind was simple.
I am NOTHING...
I was nothing before and I will be nothing again...
It was a peaceful, settling thought.
Maybe, before I was... I was hope...
And, maybe, after I am... I will be a joyful memory.
The truth, however, is that I am NO THING...
What am I?
Our energy takes the form of our body from nothing,
and becomes nothing in the end.
The “ashes to ashes” thing... that has always framed it so perfectly.
Think about it...
I am nothing.
I am only a feeling....
a reflection of you and of the energy that is sparked between us.
I AM REFLECTION...
I reflect love from so many...
I reflect opportunities that exist...
I am the memory of moments that we’ve shared...
I am the hope that we’ve inspired...
DO I EXIST WITHOUT YOU?
Without the people I love, work with, struggle with, interact with, celebrate with... ?
I reflect the universe, nature, light...
But as for me,
I am nothing.
I am merely a reflection...
The more people I love... the more I reflect love...
The more opportunities I understand... the more I reflect possibility...
The more gratitude that I am able to accept... the more I reflect grace...
But as for me alone...
I am nothing...
That is why harmony doesn’t belong to me,
doesn’t define me... nor give me form.
Harmony is what I see...
as the formula, the approach
to interactions that bring light... that produce joy...
that create flow... that inspire hope...
I am nothing...
I am the energy between us...
We are the energy between us...
We are reflections of the world around us...
And, thus we must deliberately point ourselves
at light, at hope, at love, at grace...
We must seek truth...
So that we can accept truth...
And reflect truth...
The more I can accept that I am nothing...
The more I feel able to achieve everything!
I was nothing before... and I will be nothing again.
I am the energy between us,
A reflection of the world around us...
a hopeful thought,
a joyful memory...
in harmony,
Nestor
