Hi eiken. Thanks for your comment. The reference to "grasshoppers" relates to the old TV series, "Kung Fu" in which the master calls the student "Little Grasshopper" or just "Grasshopper" for short. It's a Zen thing...The mother in my haiku obviously has a way to go in mastering some of the concepts...
