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?
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.
