In the Empty Space

Collect thirty spokes on a single hub.
In the empty space the usefulness lies.

Form a bowl from lumps of clay.
In the empty space the usefulness lies.

Frame your house with walls and doors.
In the empty space the usefulness lies.

So: Advantage comes from what is there 
Usefulness comes from ​- ​what is not.

  1. Very profound concept bout space. When you encase space, the same space that you encased,now morphs into a new identity. Empty space becomes bowl, or house. From unrecognized to recognized and vice versa...what a philosophical thought.
