The Use of Emptiness

Chapter 11 of the Daodejing: “Thirty spokes share one hub. Where it is empty, there is the use of the cart. Clay is shaped into a vessel. Where it is empty, there is the use of the vessel. Doors and windows are cut to make a room. Where it is empty, there is the use of the room. So what is there gives benefit, and what is not there gives use.”
