Enlightenment

The tricky goal. My teacher talks about a Zen story about enlightenment as the satori-beast. Enlightenment is skittish, like a butterfly. The slightest motion towards it frightens it away.

Invite it, through stilling the mind, and let it come to you when it will.

"I implore you, Daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not waken Love before he desires."
