Nothing Is Empty

We are taught from an early age to steer clear of nothing and emptiness. These nonentities are dismissed as useless or disorganizing aspects of Life. Still, might it be possible that emptiness and nothing have something to offer us? Spiritually speaking, is there anything we can learn from listening to nothing or to emptiness? After all, emptiness and nothing may be found wherever you are. Through the power of careful attention and close observation, haiku endeavors to reveal the wisdom and truth lying at the heart of what Buddhists call the Void and Taoists refer to as The Way.
