Pseudo-Genesis
In the beginning, there was a void. Because all beginnings mark a change and because any said change affecting a void is the instantiation of something material, the void was no more. Where there was nothing, now substance existed. Although not phenomenal on any scale, it was a beginning.
However, from a different angle - the perspective of the void - this is the end of nothingness. As T.S. Eliot once said, "What we call the beginning is often the end and to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from."
Thus, the end begins, and the beginning ends. Change abounds, but in the end, does it really matter where we started from?
