words words words
i’ll admit, somethymes i tire of deeze silly words… yet i also admit that http://sallykempton.com/ is on to great truth when she writes:

Practicing enlightenment, thinking “as if” you were an enlightened sage, is one of the world’s most sophisticated exercises in “fake it till you make it.” Of course, it only works when we do it for its own sake, not because we’re trying to impress people, not because we’re pretending to be something we’re not, and definitely not in order to claim mastery we don’t possess. We do it the way kids pretend to do grown-up things–because it habituates us to the mature self we will one day become. The truth is, we all hold inside us a template for enlightenment.
