Verses

“We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.

We work with being, but non-being is what we use.”

~Tao Te Ching

 

 

“What you want to be eventually you must be every day.  With practice, the quality of your deeds will get down into your soul.”

~Frank Crane
