Tao Te Ching - Chapter 11
11
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.
|...ahhh...this is infinitely more relaxing than drama (EGO). Non-being for me is consciousness, that all too difficult and most fleeting of states. The only way to defeat the Dark Side is to remain conscious. A true master can work with whatever he's been given. Non-being is the answer, for '...love is in the middle...'.
God love us all, every one.

Welcome as a witness to a fools journey out of the darkness. I welcome all tidings - you are all my teachers on this path toward a meaningful and purposeful sobriety.
