Tao of the Day S2_162
Today Debra Barsha joined me as she was heading into Manhattan to rehearse a show she wrote. All that made her selection of #11 all the more potent.
#11 "Emptiness is Valuable"
Spokes, tire, rim, and hub all make a wheel,
Yet it is the space where the axel goes that makes it worthwhile.
Clay is formed into a vessel,
A vessel’s function is to hold things,
Thus its form includes emptiness.
A house can be built
But if it were solid, it would be useless.
It is easy to see structure,
But structure is only there to expose the value of emptiness.
