It is easy to imagine that
the Buddha, the awakened one, is something
or somewhere other than here or
that awakening to reality will happen
sometime other than now.

But as long as we continue to think in terms of time
we will deceive ourselves.

The "you" who is chasing enlightenment
will never become enlightened.

Instead of striving towards some distant goal that
you will never reach, I invite you to stop and ask:

How am I avoiding the enlightenment
that is already present in each moment?

How am I seeing separation where it doesn't exist?
