Our dear Faiths editor just published this lovely feature about… nothing. Very Seinfeldian. Or Existentialist. Or Buddhist. Nothingness plays a major role in many Eastern faiths—but it’s not nothing. It’s a very rich something, an absence with presence that is surprisingly calming, especially if you’re used to buzzing around in a hectic life.

The gallery includes sweet quotes like: 

“What is essential is invisible to the eye.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

Plus others from Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, and more. All excerpted from “From You Don’t Have to Be Buddhist to Know Nothing: An Illustrious Collection of Thoughts on Naught,” edited by Joan Konner.
