mountains are mountains

Children are wise. Children are filled with bliss. Children have no need for conjectures. Children simply respond. Children are like wild animals. Always in the right place at the right time. Always landing on the right tree. Always knowing when to take flight. Always knowing what to do when the moment is ripe.

Children are wise. Children are wise, but naïve. Children are wise, but don’t know it. Children are wise, but in their wisdom awareness sleeps…

In humanity, experience awakens awareness in wisdom. We grow up. We live. We stumble. We fall. We get up. We learn and move on. And we eventually become like children. Again. Always in the right place at the right time. Always landing on the right tree. Always knowing when to take flight. Always knowing what to do when the moment is ripe. But now we know. Now we are aware.  

And awareness of wisdom is our greatest gift. It leads us to a whole new level. It leads us to utter bliss. It leads us to our personal path. It leads us to that familiar sense of wonderment. It leads us to…well, it leads us to NOTHING.

And then,

When an ordinary person realizes it,

   he is a sage.

When a sage realizes it,

   he is an ordinary person.
