Hui Tzu asked him       about her and he, Chuang Tzu, replied.       So, he did and he didn't in various Ways.              Between they and me continues to be       a divide of sorts, me being me and all, she       returns even now of all times as the present       being full of nothing continues, two unfold.              To say a few things about nothing is possible.       There's really nothing to it, as a pronoun. It       stands in the place as a place holder of sorts.              It's kinda like zero, many know, how as a point       of origin, or any point or points on a line of a       kind of reason, connecting dots of theism to       forms of atheism naturally. A point has as       a dimension, basically, nothing, period.              Koans can be cans kicked for a spell.       When some body is depressed, schizophrenic,       a buddha short or tall, thru thick and thin, knowing,       contemplating zen forms a pebble, strikes a rock       and making a sound, the sound fades.              It returns to where it came from.       It is able to be akin to nothing.       It is a word, as nothing is.              Meanings vary.              - thanx!
