Stirring Silver Lining

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.

L. Tzu, Tao Te Ching

  1. Beautiful quote.

    Ina Garten is great too! We used all her recipes for our Easter dinner. They're easy to follow and delicious. She inspired me to get back into cooking (after cancer) minus some of the butter and suger… errrrrr!
    Have a wonderful weekend!

  2. A super fave of mine of which you are in full possession;
    Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
    Lao Tzu
    Always thinking of you and thanking you for being a silver lining to us all!
