“To rid the grass of weed, to get The whole root, Thick, tangled, takes a strong mind And desire - to make clean, make pure. The weed, tough As the rock it leaps against, Unless plucked to the last Live fiber Will plunge up through dark again. The weed also has the desire To make clean, Make pure, there against the rock.” MindWholeLastsDesireStrongDarkRocksPureToughRootsCleanGrassLeapWeedThickPlungeFiberTangledStrong Mind Book:Zen, poetry, the art of Lucien Stryk Source: Zen, poetry, the art of Lucien Stryk
