Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, make
bookshelves, wash the dishes, do the laundry,
light the fire, burn the wood, take the train
to the city, protest the war, buy organic
groceries, visit your congressperson, get
home before dinner.
No, wait.
Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water
After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water
Do you understand how simple this is,
and how hard?
