   Obviously,   
   if you experienced what he experienced, you'd use different words.   
      
   Assuming all words such as, Tao, satori, etc., mean the same thing   
   you have, without any doubt, experienced what he's pointing to.   
      
   You may say you Know the Way.   
   When you're in the Zone, you Know how things go.   
      
   You follow what he might call a light that shines.   
      
   You watched as your father worked.   
   Ummmmmmm might suggest you picked it up from him.   
   That he was your very own living Master.   
      
   Rationalizations can be fabricated.   
   When in the Zone. Naturally.   
      
   To be in sync with Tao, now, is a gift.   
   Tang might call it grace.   
      
   I simply call it the present.   
   Others call it by that word too.   
      
   It's not all too difficult to see.   
   It could be said everyone is swimming in it.   
   Some float. Some drown. Such is life.
