At last, nothing is possible

Your parents told you that everything is possible. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Just a little bit of hard work, application and grit and determination and the world's your oyster. Right?
Well, there is an element of truth in that. It is also heavily overrated. You can't really be whatever you want to. Like, not everyone can be President or Prime Minister. Actually, who in their right mind would want to be? But that's another question.

So, everyone is running around doing what they want to do, trying to prove that everything is possible when, really, the point is to just relax, calm down, and stop wearing yourself and the planet out.
More than this though, what I'm really trying to get at with the phrase 'nothing is possible' is to point to the silence between words, the space between and within atoms, the vast emptiness of the universe.
Ok, some smart arse is going to say the nature abhors a vacuum. Really? Then why is the vast spaces between planets, solar systems, and galaxies full of vacuums then.?
Alright, so there's gravity waves and photons,. Trouble is you try doing something with them, like eat them. You can't. Doesn't matter, still missing the point. meaning exists in the spaces between letters, the gaps between notes, and the space between artworks. The pauses are pregnant with meaning.
Modern society makes everything imaginable. Most of all it makes noise, and dust, and pollution. The whole idea that everything is possible is a disruption to the natural order. There is no peace. Everything has a price. It is a cynics paradise where everything has a priced nothing of importance is valued.
So, take the challenge. Chill out, Get creative. Embrace the unknown and the invisible, the non-sensical. Take time out, be quiet, appreciate the emptiness. Think of nothing and make you are considering the massive nature of the universe. Embrace what you don''t know.
Nothing is palpable, yet intangible. You can feel it though you can't touch it,. It can, however, touch you. Let it entice you, seduce you, draw you towards its absence. This, indeed, is the space where nothing is possible. ..
