Day By Day 03/30/2021 ~ Emptiness

 "The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on the empty space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends. Clay is fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the walls) to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space (within), that its use depends. Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves for profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness."

Just the right amount of empty

If you look at yesterdays blog you should notice a similarity between the two images. The easiest difference to identify is the color of the background. Today's image has more emptiness. The color of the background makes the difference. 

The empty is filled up

Same deal with life. We need to get the emptiness right. Not an easy task because there is always something that wants to fill up what is best left empty.
