Craving a detox of heart and mind, I was very grateful to listen as Sadani recited the following poem at YYTT over the weekend. To me, it's a message of simplicity, aiming to clear our hearts for receiving so that we always have capacity to give. Sadani beautifully states that acceptance of these counter-intuitive truths doubles the size of the universe. I like that.
THE USES OF NOT
by Lao Tzu from Tao Te Ching
Thirty spokes
Meet in the hub,
Where the wheel isn't
Is where it's useful.
Hollowed out,
Clay makes a pot.
Where the pot's not
Is where it's useful.
Cut doors and windows
To make a room.
Where the room isn't,
There's room for you.
So the profit in what is
Is in the use of what isn't.
