“Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel, but it is 
the center hole that allows the wheel to function.

We mold clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside 
that makes the vessel useful.

We fashion wood for a house, but it is the 
emptiness inside that makes it livable.

We work with the substantial, but the emptiness is 
what we use.”

(Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu)
