When the great Zen philosopher D.T. Suzuki was asked, “What is it like to reach satori (enlightenment)?” He said, “It’s just like ordinary everyday experience, except about two inches off the ground” — Alan Watts

Recently, after nearly 20 years of having first moved to the US, I finally got my green card. 2 years of pursuing a Masters degree, A friend asked me how it feels - “are you excited?” - and it reminded me of Dr. Suzuki’s quote. Nothing’s changed in my everyday experience… except I feel I’m walking about two inches off the ground.
