The space of nothingness

Share Post:

When I wake up in the mornings, I make myself two cups of coffee. One for gulping and the other to sip until it gets too cold to finish. This is not a lifestyle trend, a simple pleasure I enjoy at my place of abode. Lately, I have started my must-haves to experience “the space of nothingness.” Start with a goal to sit under a tall lush tree( choice between going to Starbucks or finding a tree or both). If I have time for Starbucks, then I should have time for a tree. Hearing the birds chirping around, I think they are happy to see humans shackles free from Covid lockdowns. Who knows, one day, if opportunity permits, I will have my little tree deck to live out the space of nothingness regularly. Slowing down is essential in the world of hurry and worry. Covid variants are not sparing any, and your travel plans or nature excursions are put on hold. Tall lush trees are premium for downtown dwellers. You may not find them in your neighborhood; however, parks are a good substitute. With coffee in hand, seated on the ground almost in a lotus position, relax, and let your shoulders drop, and sip the drink for a start. Give it a try; small changes, big difference.
