0-0 Count

Richard Feynman: "We get the exciting result that the total energy of the universe is zero. Why this should be so is one of the great mysteries - and therefore one of the important questions in physics."

The 0-0 count is the only position in baseball in which neither the pitcher nor the batter holds an advantage over the other. This neutrality of zero, or nothing, can help us begin to understand its power, especially as it's applied to the concept of God.

God as Nothing
How elegant that is
Dark, like the joyous mystery without and within
Invisible, like her breath, intermixed with his
Pungent, like the sacred smell of a lover
Void, like the womb from which we begin
Death, the fear upon which we use idols to cover 
Mislabeling them God, in sin
Stillness, a counterbalance that animates life
Precious, like wheels in the no-thing of time
Embracing, like the caring arms of a brother in strife
The only eternal thing that I can call mine

Absent, like everything we long for as we're on our way
Empty, like the space that great stars hold
Endless, like the paths onto which we stray
A negation of everything that we know
Non-existent, as the pain you try to keep deep inside, 
Deeper than deep, lower than low
Silent, as the sound the truth replied
The destination of where we all go
