Don't Let Your Mind Grow Dim
•
Andrew Palmer
The suffering of the Wheel is relentless
back and forth stirring up the dust
the ant patrol on its endless round
the Six Paths are nothing but confusion
changing heads and switching faces
doesn't free you from your self
bring this hell of darkness to an end
don't let your mind grow dim
-from The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain (Hanshan)
