A Steel Hammer Flies Through the Spring Breeze

October 28, 2018February 8, 2023 by Sensei Carol, posted in Poems and Koans

The hardness of the steel represents ultimate “nothingness”, which reminds us of the importance of single-mindedness when circumstances are uncomfortable.

A spring breeze can carry the hammer away as it approaches to nothingness.
