paradise

Paradise, for Zen, is accessible now and here,
for it is our everyday world,
but perceived with the awakened eye.

    however, perception through the awakened eye can be a struggle when grief adds measurable weight to the eyelids... one must continue to breathe deeply and work earnestly to keep them open
    often a friend is the "toothpick" that props them
