Dude. We already *are* in the light.
We're also in the dark.

Gotta have both.

Returning to the Ordinary World
A monk asked Kegon, "How does an enlightened one return to the ordinary world?" Kegon replied, "A broken mirror never reflects again; fallen flowers never go back to the old branches."

No matter how many years you sit doing zazen, you will never become anything special.
-- Zen Master Sawaki, in Zen Master Dogen (1200-1253 ), Instructions for the Zen Cook

If you got some big ****ing secret
Then why don't you sing me something?

Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one master after another. He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.

Desiring to show his attainment, he said: "The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist. The true nature of phenomena is emptiness. There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity. There is no giving and nothing to be received."

Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing. Suddenly he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe. This made the youth quite angry.

"If nothing exists," inquired Dokuon, "where did this anger come from?"

She got down but she never got tired
She's gonna make it to the night
She's gonna make it through the night

(break with soul-stirring solo)

Oh momma that's where the fun is
But momma that's where the fun is
Momma always told me not to look
in the eyes on the sun
But momma that's where the fun is

Chorus:
Blinded by the light!
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night!

Blinded by the light!
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night!

Ladies and gentelman, welcome to the sensational and amazing... Carnival of
Carnage! They said it couldnt happen, they said it wouldnt last, but boys and
girls and everyone weve got a carnival for that ass! Tens of thousands of
freaks, sideshows, and fools, a carnival who together lives by there own rules


We looked into the stars, foretold everyone, something dark and wicked this way
comes. We told of oddities, crawling from the dark, and a carnival which we can
all belong. I dwell upon the streets, and I can tell you this: I see some
circus, Juggalo shit going on. People drawn together, by rare and scrubby
music, and we even gather once a year to PUT IT DOWN!

With tilt-a-whirls and merry goes', and carnivals of Faygo, were just trying to
tell you abot the light, right. Now all the Jokers Cards have fallen with
spectacular array, so when the Wraith is calling, walk into the light, right.
