Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.
– Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

It has all gone transparent,
and absolutely nothing has changed.

Sights still stream
through this body’s eyes,
just as they have for all the past
just shy of sixty years;
but I never used to notice most
of what is given by vision,
just the occasional fallen brown petal
from a once-golden cactus bloom
fleeting by twirling
on the surface.

Now the blazing river
is wholly recognized
roaring the reflection
of something like sunrise,
some ever-brighter empty
infinitely amicable density
of light.

An invulnerable fulfillment is glimpsed;
for a moment
all disappointments disappear.
