The Beginning

Enlightenment... I, as a spiritual seeker, must have read/heard this word thousands of times in this new-age world.  What is enlightenment?  Some days I would wake up and wonder is this enlightenment, am I there?  Other days I would wake up and feel enlightenment was the new-age term for heaven on earth, just a belief that is unattainable, but continues to drive ideas and thoughts, movement and momentum.  After a decade of exploring the enlightened path, from yoga to meditation, from juice cleansing to veganism, from books to podcasts, podcasts to books, here I am... still here, just as I am.  Am I enlightened... I hope not, but until I can define enlightenment for myself, I am unable to even answer that question.  I have sold my house, consolidated all my possessions to a carload, and am off with no defined itinerary in place... I am a wanderer, a nomad at heart, and through this journey, I hope to wander to a better definition of enlightenment for myself.
