The missing ring
The lost arrow
Doors and windows
The empty plate
The leaky sack
A quiet night
Nothing is natural
The cucumber sandwiches
There is no driver
Break the molecules
The wine ran out
The empty carriage

Nothing more
Stop trying
No words needed
How many tigers
The empty pot
Forgetfulness

Rotting bamboo
Knowing not-knowing
The lost bowl
No one in the boat
The heart sutra
The absent God
Sacred ignorance
Not owning
Many shoes, no feet
No porridge in the bowl
Get nothing for nothing
Murphy's mind
Not speaking
The silent frog
The lingering grin
Follow the stream
Being bald
The curiosity shoppe
The empty building
