The space between stars

The quiet space

See it? Nothing.

Know what the best time is? When you notice.

The far spaces.

The not-here spaces.

Like, extremely far away.

Andromeda to here. That kind of thing.

Many times when I’m in the flow with writing or drawing, I get this strange sense of it. An intuitive sensation that there’s a lot out there. A lot of open, vast, nothingness.

In Japanese, there’s even a character for it.

無。

You know what it means?

Nothingness.

You go to a temple, and you find that character on top of the whole shrine part, and you just notice all at once that it’s written there for you.

The quiet space.

The nothingness.

The not-here, not-near, vast.

About kismuth

I write. I draw in Sharpie. I have a design studio called Design Kompany. I am really intrigued by dialogue design, and host roundtables at Orangutan Swing. A lotta stuff, I know.
