“What’s enlightenment,” asked the seeker.

“I can only provide a metaphor,” replied the wayfinder. “Have you ever been in the darkness when a bolt of lightening suddenly illuminated all of your surroundings in vivid clarity?”

“No,” said the wayfinder to the seeker’s immense disappointment. “It is like returning to the darkness but now possessing a greater insight into your place in the cosmos.”
