CASE
The hermit of Lotus Flower Peak held up his staff and showed it to the assembly saying, "When the ancients got here, why didn't they consent to stay here?" There was no answer from the assembly, so he himself answered for them, "Because they did not gain strength on the road." Again he said, "In the end, how is it?" And again he himself answered in their place, "With my staff across my shoulder, I pay no heed to people-! go straight into the myriad peaks."
You'll need the book "The Blue Cliff Record" to really shred the gnar here.
How does this bit of poetry strike you?
Be careful with your own imagination.. else you may feel a wooden stick swipe you once or twice.
That's whack!
