So Simple it Hurts

Your enlightenment depends not on your efforts but simply on how you see yourself…just as the enlightenment of those around you depends on how you see them.  There is no spiritual metamorphosis; the change barely occurs at all leaving no evidence behind and certainly could never be recorded.  No, this shift occurs only in your imagination, privately between you and yourself.  As far as the world is concerned, there is absolutely nothing to notice or celebrate.  Though strangely, in this tiniest of nods to yourself, a quiet celebration spreads across every face you lay eyes upon.
