We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.
We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.
We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.
We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.
[For Personal Development]
- The usefulness of what is depends on what is not.
- Who we are is reflected in what we do.
- We need space in order to create.
[For Coaching]
- We take courses, learn techniques, hire mentor coaches, attract clients but it is the space in our heart and mind that enable us to coach.
- As coaches we work with questions, acknowledgments, strategies, messages, language, but we manifest who we are.
- Silence creates space for the client to find his/her own answers.
