In reading the Road to the Interior, one really has look at things. Seeing how this is a translation I feel certain things could be open to interpretation. So everyone reading this could come up with a number of different meanings for different passages.
One that stuck out to me so far is short, sweet and gets right to the point.
Even this grass hut
may be transformed
into a doll's house.
As he is venturing out to begin his journey he leaves that next to his door. He had cleaned and wiped things down, and dusted about. Some may see this as with work you could turn your grass hut, or little shack into something else. This is true but I thing it is more so about taking pride in the things you have. Doing a little work here and there could totally transform things or a situation.
It's not so much about having / or lusting after material things. It's refreshing to see someone be so appreciative and like what they have. Sometimes I think that's forgotten, everyone's hungry and focusing on what material thing can make them feel better. It's good to have a balance, one day my grass hut can be, and will be a dollhouse.
