And though I say it with all sincerity there is no goal, still it is hard to understand. Yet it is grace that makes understanding irrelevant and distractions unimportant. And it is wisdom to know that what you are seeking has never been lost and will never be found. When the seeker disappears in a flash of brilliant realization, then you will know Kitty. Then you will understand. Until then sweet Kitty, let wisdom guide your step, grace show the way, and awareness reveal the obstacles of the thinking mind. Sweet Kitty

But these words, these feeble ponderings - they're all I have until grace steps in. At least they distract the brain long enough to elevate the insides. That's the goal, anyway.

If you want it you can not have it. If you do not want it you still can not have it. There is nothing you can do to have what is already yours. It is impossible to figure out because there is nothing to figure out. It is like a man wanting to be a human. The sun wanting to give light or water desiring to be wet. All of your thoughts, ideas, notions, or beliefs about Enlightenment Kitty has less meaning than your toilet paper. At least with toilet paper you can put it to good use.

Thank you for stopping by and joining in on the pondering fun. I wonder too, Dan, but it feels like the most worthwhile game in town, so I can’t seem to resist.

My enlightenment is the sun ... The sun is real! But the sun will eventually burn out like me and you ... What's real to me isn't real to her ... One second at a time I live in darkness anyway, and the enlightenment will never come it seems, not even in dreams ... I want what’s real, too! My enlightenment is the sun … The sun is real!

What’s real to me isn’t real to her …

I have to wonder if chasing enlightement is worth all the bother. I'd be happy if I just left the world a little nicer and more enriched than I found it. Which, I suppose, is just as debatable a goal. Especially when considering that this incarnation of "I" won't be around to judge the success of it. Thanks for making me. Think a little deeper this morning. Dan An interesting post. I have to wonder if chasing enlightement is worth all the bother.
