Those who awaken never rest in one place.
Like swans, they rise and leave the lake.
On the air they rise and fly an invisible course.
Their food is knowledge.
They live on emptiness.
They have seen how to break free.
Who can follow them?

    That really is a great quote. I have been meaning to back and read the Dhammapada again for quite a while. I think I might have to make the time to do so.

    Thanks Tom
