Emptiness

pg 11

"Thirty spokes join one hub. The wheel's use comes from emptiness. Clay is fired to make a pot. The pot's use comes from emptiness. Windows and doors are cut to make a room. The room's use comes from emptiness...Having leads to profit. Not having leads to use."

This poem adheres to almost Socratic logic. There are given examples and then results. I think that it’s a very logical, viable argument. This idea of emptiness is definitely something to ponder. It’s seems so easy to get your head around, but it’s still so confusing. But it seems to work. I’m drinking hot chocolate right now…without emptiness, my mug would be useless.
