I remember a Zen story of the man being chased by a tiger through the jungle. He ran for his life.
Suddenly he came upon a cliff. He looked down the sheer drop off and saw another tiger down below licking his chops.
The tiger chasing him was on him ready to pounce. The man leaps over the cliff and grabs a root/plant and is hanging on for dear life.
As the root starts to tear away from the bank he notices a strawberry among the leaves.
He reaches for the berry, tasting it and saying: How sweet it is.
