Lao TzuThe thirty spokes unite in the one center; 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 that its use depends. Therefore, whatever has existence serves for profitable adaptation, and what does not have existence for actual usefulness.
Lao Tzu
Tao Ching, (The Book of Changes)

    Love that quote 😀

    Only thing I would say is that the Tao Ching/Dao Jing isn’t the “book of changes”. The book of changes is the I Ching/Yijing. The Tao Ching is the “Book of the Way”, the first half of the Tao Te Ching or “Book of the Way and its Power”.
