The Pot
A water bearer in China had 2 large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his back.
One of the pots was perfect, and always delivered a full portion of water. The other pot had a crack in it, and would only be half full after the long walk from the river, home.
This went on for 2 years, The Full pot brimming with pride at every full pot it delivered. The cracked one feeling less and less with every half pot IT delivered.
Finally, one day, the cracked pot, mustered up its strength and said to the water bearer, ‘I’m sorry I am Broken. How embarrassed you must be by me, to only provide a half portion of water everyday. I am ashamed.’
The Water bearer looked at the pot and asked, ‘did you notice there are only flowers on your side of the road?’ I’ve always known about your little ‘imperfection’ so I planted flower seeds along your side of the path. You provide water to these, so I am able to pick them for my family to enjoy. Without your imperfection, My Table would have no Beauty on it.’
