Chop Wood, Carry Water

“Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water." Zen Proverb




Not so much wood chopping going on these days in Dalhousie, but plenty of wood splitting.

  1. Chopping and splitting... tasks that warm you twice over, right? That pile should keep you going for a while. We don't own a splitter but rented one for a similar task last year: http://wp.me/phaYw-ge

  3. @Carol---The pile of wood actually belongs to my mum. My brother and nephew were splitting it one day when I was there so I couldn't resist.

    @Mel--I quite like the Proverb, too! Glad you enjoyed the photos!
