Organ Stew Is More Like It
a: Petroleum ~
b: organic soup with many ingredients
What: "Petroleum is like an organic soup with many ingredients, including sulfur-containing compounds. These are not useful in the fuel and are burned off as pollutants into the atmosphere, where they become a major factor in acid rain. Removing organic sulfur pollutants from fossil fuels has proved difficult because they are bonded tightly in the molecule and do not dissolve in water."

a: mind without concentration ~
b: wooden posts left lying on the ground
What:
"A mind without concentration is like a pile of wooden posts left lying on the ground for people and animals to step all over. But if we stand the posts up and plant them in the soil, we can get good use out of them. Even if they're not tall - only a meter or so - but we put them close together in a line, we can fence in our yard and prevent people and animals from coming in and traipsing all over our property. It's the same with the mind "
A nice article with MANY metaphors.
