Thinking About Nothing

Have you ever sat and been thinking about nothing,

then realising you must be thinking about something,

it's impossible to think about nothing and you are -

techinically speaking - thinking about thinking about nothing.

So in fact, this is of course thinking of something,

therefore you are thinking of something after all.

So I would say you can't think of something or nothing,

as if you think of something without a specific something,

you are after all thinking about nothing in particular...

So thus you are thinking about nothing, though that is in fact...

Something!

    this is a great write and brought a smile to my face.
    reminded me of when I read Suzuki-roshi ... spoke of when even when we aren't doing anything, we are doing "not anything". thanks.

    A wonderfully amusing piece with a lot of truth in it. I have done it so many times. You are of course quite right, thinking of nothing is thinking of something. Brilliantly put! Best of luck in the contest with it

    I think about that all time ... when I ask someone what they are thinking and they say "nothing" i say those exact words to them ... you can't possibly be thinking of nothing ... for nothing is obviously something ... or your mind wouldn't think it ... it's just one of those things ... your mind never shuts off ... it's a non stop mechanism ... you did such a wonderful job explaining this ... for I understood every word as I do say it myself a lot ... so ... if you are weird ... then I am weird with you lol ... Love ya doll face ...

    no more talking to you for a while, til you learn to stop toying with me mind, man, stop toying with my mind. lol, this is a good poem and you know i have often thought about that or i have thought i thought aobut that, but if i did think about that, then i had thought about it as the same thought you just thought about. maybe we thought the same thought cause it is a common thought to have thought, it iskind of a floating thought that all ppl thought that had thought but in thinking that you thought it, you are really just thinking it, you did a great job on this, keep it flowing
