"The clay gives the jar form, but what really makes the jar useful is that empty space inside.

That hollow centre which gives the jar the capacity to hold whatever - water, seeds, stones, honey, flowers or anything else - thereby giving the purpose, the meaning to the emptiness ✨🌟✨

Lao Tzu seemingly uses his words as a metaphor for life: silence gives meaning to sound, rest gives value to work, and openness allows growth and understanding.

So the clay jar example teaches us that whilst substance creates structure - usefulness and meaning often come what we leave absent and open - in the space to be filled 🙏💛"
