Anything is many things. It’s a whole and its various constituent parts and particles, interweaving fields and forces, designating names and sustaining circumstances, its essences and its characteristics — and likewise each of these things is many things as well, and so on infinitely. Everything altogether as a single thing including each and every thing is what I call the Thing of Everything. In my usage of the word thing there is nothing whatsoever that is not a thing. If there’s a word for it, or not, if it’s real, or not, it’s a thing. Nothing, no-thing, and nothingness are things, and so are you and I. We’re all in this together, each an infinity of things embraced by the Thing of Everything.

And that’s a good thing. Our beneficially participating in things greater than ourselves leads to a growing awareness of our interconnectedness and an expanding feeling of joy as we more and more deeply sense our kinship with all things. As we extend goodwill toward all, all increasingly reveal themselves to be kaleidoscopic, playful aspects of an infinitely lively Thing of Everything. That’s quite Something.

Anything is many things*.

Each and every thing — everything — is something else, so nothing is anything exclusively.

Including everything is the Thing of Everything.

* The scope of “things” is all-inclusive, including all words and all meanings, all thoughts and all theories, from philosophy to physics, from politics to spirituality.
