the void

“By convention, we speak about color, about touch and sound, as if those things are in the world, but in reality, there’s just atoms in the void,” Stephen Westland, a professor of Colour Science at the University of Leeds in the U.K., and a member of the CLP, told Salon in a video interview.

“We understand that nothing can truly fill the void left by her absence, but we hope that the guilty verdicts brings a measure of justice and peace.”

As things break, we have to be ready to swoop into the void to replace them with things we can control, things that work better and things built by the people on the principles of solidarity, equality and sharing.

And he seems to be saying those worlds are one step away from chaos, from the void and from violence.

A lot of the most popular literature and films tread that path — desire and the void.
