There is a beginning.
There is no beginning of that beginning.
There is no beginning of that no beginning of beginning.

There is something.
There is nothing.
There something before the beginning of something & nothing, and something before that.

Suddenly, there is something and nothing, but  between something and nothing, I still don't know which is something and nothing.

Now i've just said something, but I don't really know whether I've said anything or not.

Quite the mind-warp, Jonathon...  this puzzle will take a few re-reads to comprehend, but a fun write anyway.

"but I understand it completely," she said, as her fingers played with a cat's cradle that only she could see....

Well done Jonathon!
