Awakening is Like Boiling Water

I read a Koan this morning that said: "Water heats slowly but boils suddenly."  My reaction was: Thus is awakening!
------------------------------------------------------------
Meditation, prayer, contemplation, Zikr are a special fire we can make to heat and transform this water which is our awakening. 

The water of our lives is heated to boiling many, many times in the continual process of awakening.  It is easy to get discouraged or impatient, yet take heart for the water will boil and we will awaken!

Oh Light Bearer

Remember oh lover of light... When skies grow dark, every light shines brighter! YOU are a light in the darkness, shining like the Moon.
