The story about the two monks with contrasting expressions of wakefulness really resonated with me. It's a beautiful reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to enlightenment. We often have preconceived notions of what it means to be 'awakened,' but the reality is that it can manifest in countless ways. If we stop and think about it for a moment, it's liberating to know that our awareness can manifest so differently. There isn't just one way.

Ummm now I need a refresher on what exactly awareness is lol.

In forest therapy we have a saying: Notice what you are noticing.

Is this the same thing?
