                                 Body and Spirit


            We assemble spokes to make a wheel
            But the usefulness is the emptiness of the hole that allows rotation

                                    a
            We shape clay to make a pot
            But the usefulness is the emptiness that holds the water

                                                b
            We hammer wood together to make a house
            But the usefulness is the emptiness that provides the livable space

                                       c
            Therefore, what profit is the body
            Without the emptiness indwelt by the Holy Spirit?
