Enlightenment




Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The moon does not get wet nor is the water broken.

I want to be enlightened. I bet you don't know when it happens to you. I think it's something you can only see in others. I also think it's temporary. Like, sometimes I hear people say something and I think, "Wow, they're really enlightened." And then they keep talking and I think, "Wow, they're a moron."


Or maybe it's just a fine line between being enlightened and being a moron. Or, instead, it could just be about timing.
