The Moon & The Dewdrop

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected in a dewdrop on a blade of grass. The moon does not get wet, nor is the dewdrop broken. And the whole moon and entire sky are reflected in even one drop of water. The mystery in any moment of oneness is that, like the dewdrop and the moon, we are briefly ourselves and everything at once. Our essential nature is not changed, only enhanced.
My friends and loved ones have helped me stay alive and being more fully alive, have come into my life like the moon; all of their love, as big as the sky, fills my heart and yet I do not become them, but only more myself.
