The driveway is littered with pine cones, so i'm adding those to my fall harvest.No, i'm not going to eat them. Pine cones make great kindling for starting a fire in the wood stove. They catch fire quickly, and the pine resin burns hot enough to set the actual kindling of sticks and twigs on fire. Eventually the sticks and twigs set the logs on fire.
Some of us don't "catch on fire" with the Dharma until later in our meditation lives. At first, meditation is sufficient, calming and stress-reducing. We follow the teacher's instructions, and that is enough.
