Control Burn
The Uses of Light
Avacado
These three poems have great meaning; Avacado being my favorite. Snyder talks about how the Dharma is like an Avacado. Many layers to him and they're so good and in the middle(soul) is your own original nature. Then The Uses of Light talks about how powerful a source the sun is. As people we should embrace this blessing. Last but not least is Control Burn where Snyders refers back to how the Native Americans treated the land with such respect. Through these chapters I feel as if Snyder was trying to say we need to go back to the basics.
I really like the poem "The Uses of Light" too. It is short and sweet, but yet very powerful. I too believe Snyder wants civilization to return to a simple way of life
