The image, as in a Hexagram: <br /> <br />The hermit locks his door against the blizzard. <br />He keeps the cabin warm. <br /> <br />All winter long he sorts out all he has. <br />What was well started shall be finished. <br />What was not, should be thrown away. <br /> <br />In spring he emerges with one garment <br />and a single book. <br /> <br />The cabin is very clean. <br /> <br />Except for that, you'd never guess <br />anyone lived there.<br /><br />Lew Welch<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-image-as-in-a-hexagram/
