Out of Nothing
Out of nothing …comes something..
It is the story of our universe, our planet Earth.
It is the story of our lives and our creativity.
From the tiniest little microscopic seed
Comes a totally new human being,
and two become three or four or more.
From a blank page, comes our poetry,
our paintings, essays and short stories.
From a blank mind, we tap into the flowing stream.
Creators, each and everyone,
even if we have not yet learned to see,
we have the possibility to touch and affect humanity.
Someone once said to me,
humans are happier making things, anything…
Ahh, to help them form from nothing, then hear them say..
”You made me!”

It always needs something for making something. Even the Big Bang was something.
All the best.

Thank you for visiting and I appreciate your comment…of course you are right and yet…a whole lot came out of that Big Bang that wasn’t there in the beginning:) and in Art..it starts with an idea only.. an idea..something very hard to touch and say..this painting, poem , building started exactly here! Where?

Captured my feelings yet again you Karima. Yes. What a delight it is when the creation looks back at us, in all its glory, and faults, acknowledging our part in bringing it to life. Lovely. The magic of something out of nothing… 🤘🍀🙏

Hello there my friend..and Yes..I know you know that joy when your characters leap off the page after a perfectly realistic and entertaining dialog and say…”Look, what you made us do”:):) Idea of course are something..but they are invisible and we can make them vsible through our Art….Aren’t we lucky?🙏🌺❤️

Absolutey… I’m beginning to feel that too. That we are lucky. That’s why I feel it’s our duty to refine ourselves to match the standards of the ideas. To give them the deserved expressions, and get as close to them as possible, in our limited humanly capacity.

I always thought nothing can come from nothing. But you made me rethink this: nothing is a something. And thus, something can come from nothing. Really liked this one! Exciting and thoughtful!

Right, that makes sense … “invisible until we make them visible”, and there for something out of nothing. You’re exactly right. And, yes, the thrill of it is something else as well.

Beautiful Miss Karima! The thought that everyone creates is invigorating. But as in this case and so many others, blank pages seem to flock to your creative ruminations.
