Pulling out weeds we give nourishment to the plant. We pull out the weeds and bury them near the plant to give it nourishment. . . . So you should not be bothered by your mind. You should rather be grateful for the weeds, because eventually they will enrich your practice. . . . You will feel how they change into self-nourishment.
— Shunryu Suzuki, Finding a Joyful Life in the Heart of Pain by Darlene Cohen
