I found this wonderful book in an antique store in Honakaa Hawaii. It is a translation of the TAO TE Ching, a traslation and commentary of Lao Tzu by Ralph Alan Dale. I hope you can find a copy too.
As I think of making a creative workspace this Verse helps.
The Importance of What is Not
We join 30 spokes
to the hub of a wheel,
yet it's the center hole
that drives the chariot.
We shape clay
to birth a a vessel,
yet it's the hollow within
that makes it useful.
We chisel doors and windows
to construct a room,
yet it's the inner space
that makes it livable.
Thus do we create what is
to use what is not.
***
Also, from Seven Sins for a Life Worth Living
Every journey has a secret destination
of which the traveler is unaware.
Martin Buber
