XIV: Young Hunters & Old Woodcutters

from A Pilgrim’s Progress · host Ben Johnson

This piece is about an image from Dogen which stuck in my mind. Young Hunter - that's me when I'm impatient to get results, and get them NOW! Healing, happiness, enlightenment, the final books in the Song of Ice & Fire, whatever it is. Old Woodcutter - That's me when I live in the past, trying to carve and whittle the past into something that's more to my liking. In between those two figures is just me, right here right now. I'd love to hear from you! My email is [email protected]
