Zen for Today
Before, this mind went wandering
however it pleased,
wherever it wanted,
by whatever way that it liked.
Today I will hold it aptly in check--
as one wielding a goad, an elephant in rut.
-Dhammapada, 23, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
Ok, is it me? This struck me as hugely funny! An elephant in rut? ROFLMAO!
Maybe I'm just strange *G*.
