About nothing

The woman sitting opposite me at the table was upset. She wanted me to talk and I had said that I have nothing to talk about. I just wanted to sit there and I had no interest in saying anything at the time.

Is this a white polar bear in the snow, or is it nothing?

She expected me to talk. Instead of my words, she got nothing from me.

She became angry. I then felt less willing to talk.

Now, thinking about what happened, I wonder would have happened if I had talked about that nothing that was on my mind at the time.

It was at the end of the day. I had been busy and productive at work. Lots of activity and I was now sitting in front of this beautiful woman peacefully enjoying the moment without being conscious of any thoughts going on in my mind.

She had good reason to be upset. My friend Blondie had said “Peter does not have a communication problem. He just doesn’t communicate.”

I agree with Blondie. I didn’t talk much. I still have a tendency to not communicate.

Being more aware of my past lack of communication, I now see how many other people suffer from the lack of communication from others, and their lack of communicating to others.

So I created this website for the purpose of writing about nothing and exploring further.
