Along the WayAs you can see by the information on the lastpage, we are up to new things with The Empty Vessel. Ithas been 19 years now that we first started publishing.We have struggled for all of these years to produce aninteresting, relevance and inspiring journal. Some ofyou have stuck with us for all of these years!Now it is time for us to evolve and grow and moveinto an even more interesting format. As Daoists we arededicated to growing and staying flexible. As the OldBoy says:When we are born we are supple and tenderlike a young plant.When we die we become rigid and unyielding.The ten thousand beings,including plants and grasses,when young are soft and pliable.At their death they are dry and brittle.Therefore we say that the stiff and unyieldingare the companions of death.The soft and yielding are the followers of life.In this way, an army may be strongbut it will be defeated.A mighty tree will be cut down.The great and mighty will fallwhile the soft and yielding will overcome.(76)So this is what we are doing here at the Abode –remaining flexible, open to new experiences, new waysof looking at the world, new ways of being and doing. Ifeel excited and exhilarated as well as more than a littleuneasy as the ground that I have known for so manyyears shifts under me. But I feel that I am being led andthat this change will actually bring The Empty Vesseland the Abode of the Eternal Dao to another level!I am also deeply indebted to my good friend FrancescoGarripolli who is the founder of the EnergyArts-Global project. It is with his guidance and belief in amagical and abundant universe that I am able to makethe changes that it will take to move the Abode intoa whole new world! (See his article on page 6 to seewhat I mean). I would also like to thank the wonderfulNaoka Chindo who is also doing a great deal to makethis happen!
