The Chinese say that as we pass through the gates of life and are born into this world, the angels whisper the secret of life. We forget this at the time but it remains an invisible thread that guides our life. If we follow the thread we will live in harmony and balance and be enriched by the path we have been given. Zhì Shì is an inner place of creative drive and desire where one inherits their purpose in life. Zhì is drawn as the development of plants growing over the heart meaning scope, ambition, purpose and will. Shì is drawn as a roof of a building and a bird that suddenly dives at the ground. It means to reach a home, to arrive and a house. Here we can go straight to the home of our will with purpose and determination.

Thirty spokes join the circular hub of the cart wheel. Only the hole at the center allows the wheel to spin. The center hole is essential, the spokes simply follow. A potter turns his wheel and makes a pot – its use is where there is nothing, only the space within allows the pot to hold water.
- Lao Tsu
