The tree looks like a sycamore, a handsome tree.

I’m so glad we’re alive on this planet at the same time. Your post about nothing turned into something for me, and I thank you. And yes, I do talk to my things too.

I moved to NYC in 1999. In my first week there, I went into a bar, in Soho, after doing some wandering around. There was this sultry bartender with a tattoo of a phrase that was written in Sanskrit and it was on her arm. She told me that the meaning loosely translated to, “If Nothing We Have Everything.” I went home that night and wrote that line on my closet door. Now it’s tattooed on my leg. It’s a rabbit hole of a concept and I love it. You leading this by saying it would be about nothing put the biggest smile on my face because it ended up being about everything. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

🎶I’ve got plenty of nothing and nothing’s plenty for me🎶

That’s what I say or sing to myself. Loved this. Loved that siren in the background that started out so quiet and got louder and louder. ♥️⭐️
