“The path up the mountain of enlightenment is talked about, Everyone…”
“Indeed, My Zen Master, we have discussed it often.”
“But,”said My Zen Master, “it occurred to me that this pathway is more of a ladder.”
“A ladder!”
“Yes…full awareness of now in each and every moment, which is enlightenment, for most of us is not a gentle path, it’s a ladder…each step of the ladder involves a pause while we consider what efforts the next ladder-step will involve!”
“Solid, My Zen Master! Solid!”
