We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.
~The Tao Te Ching
In essence, we must become a shape ready to hold what we want. Build the structure of your daily existence that prepares you for the life you want most.
What do you want most?
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

I first heard that sequence on a DJ Spooky track...
ReplyDeleteThirty spokes are made one by holes in a hub,
By vacancies joining them for a wheel's use;
The use of clay in moulding pitchers
Comes from the hollow of its absence;
Doors, windows in a house,
Are used for their emptiness:
Thus we are helped by what is not
To use what is.
