Contemplation
Thirty spokes of a wheel all join at a typical center point
however just the opening at the middle
permits the wheel to turn
Dirt is shaped to frame a cup
however just the space inside
permits the cup to hold water
Walls are joined to make a room
however simply by removing an entryway and a window
could one at any point go into the room and live there
In this way, when a thing has presence alone
it is simple extra weight
Just when it has wu, does it have life
Stanza 11, Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu
Wu is nothingness, void, nonexistence
