but now i see



what she thought was open is closed. what she perceived as transparent is opaque.
there is a downside to enlightenment.
she feels, much like the last person to grasp the punchline, utterly foolish and endlessly gullible.
she wonders how long she saw what wasn't really there, and didn't see what was.

    The funny thing about enlightenment is, it is ongoing. Damn! And I thought I had all the answers.

    It's a matter of luck, just luck ... and time. Eyes only see the frontside, it takes time to enter the building, especially when it's locked well.

    Enlightenment is a smidge like pregnancy ... you either is or you aint ... and it is a tortuous landscape to traverse ... requiring both sight and vision ...

    That must have been mirrors, I thought after rubbing my eyes for a while.
