We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.
~ Lao tsu

When time is wasted on the superfluous and conversations are held to be 'politically correct' I seek the grounding of the wise sages - we seem to be lacking in them these days. Naples, FL
