Huang-Po
This section on the mind was a little confusing for me but it becaome a little more clear when it said, "suppose a warrior forgot he was already wearing his pearl on his forehead, he sought for it comewhere else: he might search through the hole world without finding it. But if someone simply pointed it out to him, the warrior would immediatly realize that the pearl that been there all the time." I think this concept is refering to how we all go through life searching for our purpose, or our gift. Searching for the reason why we are here at all. Some people search their entire life and never realize that our purpose is within. We all come from the same source we are made from the earth and we return when we die. But we all are originally made from the same creator and we should look to him for our purpose and sense he is in us all we should look deep within ourselves.

I really enjoyed this one section and you pointed out my very favorite part of it. The words seem to go together better than poetry. I don't know about anyone else but I started getting a bit of anxiety during the part where the warrior lost the pearl and was searching for it. Then a sense of relief when he realized that he had it all along. It may sound weird but I liked the effect it had on me.
