Emptiness
Emptinessis something we can only talk about
from somewhere outside the emptiness
Emptiness does not exist
in its natural
condition
In the atmosphere emptiness will
immedately
be invaded by what surrounds it
If we think this sounds abstract
we can set up an emptiness
on the the lawn and see
what happens

Emptiness
Tomheit
er noe vi berre kan snakke om
frå ein stad utanfor tomheita
Tomheit finst ikkje
i naturleg
tilstand
I atmosfæren vil tomrommet
øyeblikkeleg
invaderast av det som ligg omkring
Syns vi dette høyrest abstrakt ut
kan i opprette eit tomrom
på plenen og sjå
kva som skjer
er noe vi berre kan snakke om
frå ein stad utanfor tomheita
Tomheit finst ikkje
i naturleg
tilstand
I atmosfæren vil tomrommet
øyeblikkeleg
invaderast av det som ligg omkring
Syns vi dette høyrest abstrakt ut
kan i opprette eit tomrom
på plenen og sjå
kva som skjer
