Lao Tse...

Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel.

Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot.

Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the house.

    What a hard act (s) to follow from the last three comments, except to say that his words and philosophy are wonderful. Eckhart Tolle talks about the space or the gaps as an awareness to consciousness.

  • Perfectly captured in your words Wayne……ty for this visit to one of my corners my friend.
