No Longer A Destination




"Enlightenment is not the end of our path,
but a step on our path."
Christina von Dreien 

Enlightenment is not a destination, but an on going passage.  It is spacious and expansive, but if we are not paying attention, the short cuts we take, side step intended fullness. Too fast, our vision is blurred. Slow our pace, and various scenes of beauty appear.

If we notice a bird outside of our window, welcome it. When the sun is setting, be in awe of its hue.  As we glance up towards the moon, pull in the available light.  While cooking, deeply breathe in fragrances.  

Everything present in our life is a segment of enlightenment.  The connection of levels in our body, mind, and spirit work together for full embodiment.  As enlightenment ceases to be a destination, it wraps around us as life itself.
