      There is ash in relation firewood, thus firewood may become ash in due time. Yet there is ash in its absolute sense where ash is ash and there is nothing but ash. Nowhere for ash to go in time relative to firewood. Likewise there is firewood fully realized as firewood in an absolute sense. Nowhere for firewood to go except now. In sitting we go beyond the one (fully realized ash for example) and the many (ash and firewood) dropping away body and mind realizing...

      That's my ignorant take on firewood and ash.

      Gassho, John
