A person getting enlightened is like the moon reflecting in the water. The moon does not get wet, the water is not disturbed. Though it is a great expanse of light, it reflects in a little bit of water; the whole moon and the whole sky reflect even in the dew on the grass; they reflect even in a single drop of water. Enlightenment not disturbing the person is like the moon not piercing the water. A person not obstructing enlightenment is like the dewdrop not obstructing the heavens.-Dogen, "Flowers Fall"
.....dang. Wasn't that THE MOST? I WISH I could have written that....and not only b.s.'d my way through it, experienced it daily , owned it and worn the recycled t-shirt that went with it!
I swear though, I'm on my way. When I look back, I can no longer even see the starting point.
