The Universal Question
You have to make an effort to not do something, much less not do anything. Perhaps more properly “not doing” should be called “pre-doing.” This suggests a possible answer to the universal question: “What is the universal question?” The answer, of course, is the question.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Everyone and everything.
Everyone and everything who?
Yes!
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Everyone and everything.
Everyone and everything who?
Yes!
So before the universe there was nothing. So what came before nothing? Once again we are faced with the contradictions of logic, which suggest the answer: Nothing. Perhaps then “nothing” should be called “pre-something.” Whatever created the universe, aka, something, was, I suppose, not in existence during the time of “pre-something.” So, once again we return to the question: “Where did the universe (something) come from?” Some quantum physicists may tell you that coming and going, that time itself may only exist in certain selective states. This may be true, for I was in Utah once. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in the company of a quantum physicist, whatever you do, don’t ask what time it is!
Now what I want to know is, what came before nothing, aka pre-something. (I cannot discard my sense of linear time, my sense of here and there, of before and after.) If something indeed came before nothing, then did that which created the something before “pre-something” make a conscious decision to eventually extinguish something and start over again? (There is Biblical precedent for this.) So doing extinguishes not-doing in order to not do nothing?

I ain’t gonna do
What I’m not gonna do
Cuz I’m already do-ing
It.

Enchanted Princess
She is glowing
And her light penetrates me,
Fills me with unexplainable joy.
She dances playfully around my soul
And I am awakened,
Enchanted.
All is love beyond love.
She has placed a diamond in my heart.
I do not understand the blind
Who cannot see her,
Who see only another pretty girl,
An object to possess,
To label and put into some convenient category.
It weighs on her fragile heart
That anyone should expect her to live
An ordinary life,
This enchanted princess,
Surrounded by so much that is ordinary,
This enchanted princess,
So ready for the magic to begin.
