Creative Writing: Nothingness

01. Nothingness
It was through the discipline of meditation that Nothingness maintained equilibrium. Hundreds of eons could trundle by and Nothingness endured with perfected calm. Meditation allowed for an higher consciousness, and such enlightenment made eternal existence tolerable—if not pleasant for Nothingness to endure.

Nothingness learned to do without—her methodology striking at the very base of this discipline: it abstained from thinking.

Nothingness found thinking a dangerous activity. Her last bout with cogitation had occurred some four and

Capable of reason, Nothingness was an evolving form of consciousness. Yet she possessed no discernible dimensions, or visual features. What Nothingness had become prior to its prolonged encounter with the troubling question, What-Might-Be? was a good soul.
“Hmmm…”
During the four and one half eons since Nothingness’ last bout with thinking a significant development had occurred. The query, What-Might-Be?, that was the result of this bout with thinking had been dismissed by Nothingness and cast into the dungeon of her subconscious. Unlike the thought-forbidding stage of Nothingness’ consciousness, her subconscious was a progressive environment and the query was welcomed there. The significant development had taken place within this progressive environment, for it was there that the query, What-Might-Be?, made of itself an elaborate dream.
