Numb. 1064 On In Lightening

The Western conception Buddhist Enlightenment 
is irredeemably flawed.
Understanding is not a bolt of lightning, 
more of a nearly heard drone or a plod
which can culminate in a EUREKA! moment 
if years of hard work coalesce,
if, in a second, things fall into place 
if, for a moment, it all makes sense,
if delusions dissolve, if confusions collapse,
if you can take comfort in a perhaps. 

Achieving Buddhahood is not the norm.
If you have heard otherwise, you've been misinformed.
