Today's Tao
If the valley were not filled, it might be exhausted. (Ch.39)
"The valley" means void.
So, Lao Tzu wants to say:
"void is filled and inexhaustible".
In Zen Buddhism, they say:
"無一物中無尽蔵 [mu ichi motsu chu mu jin zo]"
no / one / thing / inside / no / limit / storage
Each Kanji / Chinese character has the signification in this order.
It can be translated as:
"nothingness has an unlimited storage."
Sometimes, I wonder.
All the computer jargons and the internet technology may exist as a metaphor in order to explain us how Tao works.
It is just like Ikkyu's «Yama Uba» play, which tells us how Zen functions.

-Visit Asakusa. If Akihabara is the dream of the 21st century Japan, Asakusa is that of the 19th century. Takeshi Kitano started his career as a stand-up comedian. Spend at least a full day, hanging around in the sector behind the Sensoji temple from the river Sumida. You can see the glimpse of Asakusa of Yasunari Kawabata and Kafu Nagai.
