Firewood does not turn into ashes! 
As Zen Master Dogen said, "... we should not take the view that
what is latterly ashes was formerly firewood. What we should
understand is that, according to the doctrine of Buddhism, firewood
stays at the position of firewood.... There are former and later
stages, but these stages are clearly cut."
Every moment is complete and transient, yet unmoving. Changing,
changing, yet complete, unmoved. Drop the observer, just the
walking, the typing...
But there is no sense of walking while walking, no moving in
movement... everything is complete as it is, just This.
.[b]..Theres no mind for motion to exist apart from,
and no motion for mind to exist apart from. Motion is the mindÂ’s
function, and its function is its motion. Even so, the mind neither
moves nor functions, the essence of its functioning is emptiness
and emptiness is essentially motionless. Motion is the same as the
mind. And the mind is essentially motionless. Hence the Sutras tell
us to move without moving, to travel without traveling, to see
without seeing, to laugh without laughing, to hear without hearing,
to know without knowing, to be happy, without being happy, to walk
without walking, to stand without
standing...
