With the help of a friend I figured out how nothing became something. Meditation is about creating a space for yourself, your truest self, to just exist. It's a chance to find stillness. Any sort of interaction with another creates a shared space. A "hello" to the cashier at the market creates a connection, catching someone's eye on the subway creates a connection. Connection exists in the shared space between you and another.
Dee Dee still needs me to help her create a space for herself in meditation. So when I sit with her quietly in the dark, practicing meditation together, I am connected to her within our shared space. She asks questions, she looks to me for guidance. So the space I create is not a no-thing space for me. It is a some-thing space for us.
Understanding this I can see why I have been frazzled over the past week. When I believed I was getting my quiet nothing time to be still, I was wrong. I still need that time, and now that I know, I can create it - because I'm not about to give up my time with Dee Dee.
