' Freedom Dream '...

All wisdom and holiness are but streaks of lightening - Huang Po

I love the mystery of it all. I love the ancient Chinese Zen Master Huang Po's declaration that all our spiritual insights are at best momentary lightening flashes in the vast mystery beyond all understanding.

I am delighted that thought can never grasp its source and there is no way to explain it.

There are times of identification, of emptiness and fullness, of expansion and contraction.

The awakening is reborn and refreshed each day as quiet releases, small epiphanies, gratitude and wonder.

At each time it is the same awakening - the realization of being the silent presence, the enduring ground of wholeness and peace that is always here beneath the surface activity.

All the variations in experience - including identification and sense of separation - are seen to be the expressions of this ever present reality underlying and sourcing it all.
