Mysterious Enlightenment

In the mailbox this day before Thanksgiving festivities:

There is a great mystery at the heart of things, which we can never understand in our ordinary ways but can come to rest in. …. Make yourself available, and trust that enlightenment will find you. …. Expect that awakening will come in unexpected ways. Our freedom isn’t from the world; it’s in the world. – Joan Sutherland

A moment of enlightenment is not the same thing as enlightenment which has a ubiquitous presence. And, because of that presence the Great Mystery will remain mysterious and beyond reach.
