The Dance Between Nothingness and Somethingness

Understanding Life As Art

Rachel Corday, PhD


Life is art. All things that are are
works-in-progress. The process of art is motion.
Motion is a three-step dance, one, two, three.

Nothing that is is not the dance. The dance has no
beginning and no end. Yet it is in motion from wave to
crest, from rest to pulse to rest.

The dance has heart, and is heart, and the heart of
the dance is love.

Love is not good and not not good. It is not right and
is not not right. Love is the call of creation to
come, and the call of that which creates to create.

Nothing that is is anything but expression. It is the
intaking breath. Expression is the pulse creating time
and space. But there is nothing that stays, because
nothing is.

Space is created for time because time is the artist’s
material for life. Time is the instrument for the art
of life.

Nothing that is, is. There is only nothingness.

Somethingness is nothingness at the climax; the
cresting wave. Somethingness is nothing in itself, it
is only the sights of life, and the sounds of life.

Somethingness is the structure of the form of
nothingness.

Nothingness is nothingness. This is life, the art of
form to create structure, and structure to give live
to form.

The desire of life to be is and cannot be but infinite
passion. Life is not and cannot be anything but the
full realization of beauty; enlightenment, the
awakening of the divine heart of life.
