Outside The Box

Stare into the light and you will be blinded, Use it to illuminate the path and you will have eternal vision.

At the same time, we look into the box to enable us to think outside it.

To quote the Tao Te Ching can give some understanding of embracing the concept of thinking outside the box.

We shape clay into a pot but its emptiness is what makes it usable.

A house is made of solid materials, but it is the space inside that makes it livable.

We surround ourselves with resources and information. By being open to them, we realize their value and thus derive benefit. We bring them out of the box and take them unto our own. They are a gift, our utilization shows appreciation. By giving appreciation you affirm you are receptive to more gifts. When you achieve appreciation you are then able to give gifts of yourself.

In order for two beings to become one they must first let the winds of individuality flow freely between them. (A loose interpretation of Gebo from "The Book of Runes")

We are collectively a basket of resources and information. Within that basket we hold the realization of our ideas and our dreams. With each new part added comes the ability for more to be attached. With each new addition the capacity increases. The give and take, the exchange, is the point of contact where everything is held together. Interwoven for mutual benefit. What is potentially the weakest link is also the strongest bond. The most important.

In the box your full page ad is the link between content. Outside the box it is the sole purpose for the content.

You build a site to attract visitors. But only in leaving your site do they fulfill their purpose.

A quote from an unknown source that has stayed with me from childhood...

"Every morning the mind should be as an empty page in a notebook, upon which to write the days lessons."

The mind must remain empty like the box to be filled with pages of lessons, pages that are written outside the box.
