\nPam works outside the zendo windows weeding the front
\ngarden; me inside meditating and writing, working
\nwith the \u201cmind weeds\u201d that Suzuki Roshi talked about
\nso fondly, almost 50 years ago.<\/p>\n
Roshi saw mind weeds as a treasure. I\u2019m not sure
\nPam would agree \u2014 though, they did get her outside today
\nunder the big blue sky on this cool summer\u2019s day; and
\nperhaps that\u2019s the treasure.<\/p>\n
One time, a retreatant asked Pam, \u201cDo you get up at four
\nin the morning to meditate, too?\u201d Pam smiled and replied,
\n\u201cOh no, I work on the outside, Joe works on the inside.\u201d
\nThat partnership is the secret heart of Loose Leaf Hollow.<\/p>\n
Like rust, weeds never sleep. Unless you do the weeding,
\nthe constant practice of weeding, you can kiss your roses
\nor your soul goodbye. So, you reading this, ask yourself:
\nWhat have you done with the one garden entrusted to you?
