Empty, Empty, Happy, Happy

What is a wheel without the empty space at its center? 

A room is not four walls, but the space in between them. The utility of a clay pot is what can be held Play with being empty and inside of it. A bellows only works if there is empty space within it.  Play with being empty and “non-being” something! Our purpose and potential exist by the simple act of being born as this human vessle.  The Tao that can be told of is not the eternal Tao: The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; The Named is the mother of all things. Therefore let there always be non-being, so we may see their subtlety, And let there always be being, so we may see their outcome. Empty, empty, Happy, happy.

Cleaning your room, or car or office so there is space and order again allows us to feel clear, more available to function better and even empowered and of greater purpose. Clearing the body and mind of some of the debris allows it to function more freely, under less stress or conditioning, 

There is an allowance then for us to be empty of stuff and therefore we feel lighter and joyful and more adaptable in each moment. Simple practice. Empty empty, happy happy.
