Commencing here forth will entail a dialog of koan studies for the purpose of annotating the thought process of enlightenment. I wish to recall my own realizations and assist others in gaining theirs ^_^

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores…"- by Keats
