Does this make any sense?
Yes. Not that it has to … 
I'd definitely say …
Ah ha! Defining the indefinable. Welcome to the impossible. 
Nagarjuna's line, "Samsara does not have the slightest distinction from Nirvana. Nirvana does not have the slightest distinction from Samsara" (Verses from the Center, 25:19).
I knew it! However only the Nirvanic are distinguished.
Great post @Jason. Many thanks.

Judgment Daze
I've heard admitting the problem is the first step... 
Feeling judgmental these days and wondering if I should be meditating my way out of it or what.
Belligerent conservatives, smug know-it-alls, the macho people, the richo people, snobs, condescending jerks, people who see anger as strength, people who see wealth and sexual attraction as virtue, on and on, you get the idea.
Even as I write this, I see that it is dukkha and that the Buddha has made the path out crystal clear.
So I guess this is just me realizing where more work needs to be done.

Thanks everyone! I am feeling more positive about what's possible.
Another satisfied meditator … now I can return to my favourite meditation and mudra, 'the deckchair chill' …
Notice the hands opening the chest, the gentle sun day waving visualisation … Easy …
