Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu understood the power of
the missing piece when he wrote this verse over 2500 years ago:
Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub,
It is the centre hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel,
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room,
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there,
Usefulness from what is not there.
One additional idea that I came up when knocking some frames up:
Create a super with ten frames of wax foundation,
It is the space between that makes it useful!
