Each sitting further digs the return to life,
Each sitting scrapes the earth of our collapsed cave a little bit more,
Until one day, the light begins to pierce through

Notes & Silence 
Little by little, I take it. No swift way out of your cavern?

It is said (?…if not, I say it, therefore, « it is said »,) that Zen people are shortcut people.
Swift and gradual refer to the age-old debate on Awakening ( northern schools VS Southern Schools in China)
In reality, no debate … I have written something about this, I’ll try to insert a link somewhere…

Well, you did mention « scraping », « a little bit more » and « until one day » – not quite the language of haste. As you said it, so it is said…!

One may also remain unaware of thé prep work accomplished ahead of the day when a final scraping –last straw– brings down the whole building.
To such a person, ‘awakening’ will appear sudden.
Such unawareness may be the result of past lives work, progressive banalisalisation of practice, or under-the-radars, energetic arrangements, as underground water building its way to the spurting point (?)
Those different configurations may be different names for a single reality.
(Spurting point?? Sounds weird..)

Not sure I would use « spurting point ». Perhaps simply « until the pressure is released »?
Unawareness does not alter the fact of the long slow process. It merely indicates the failure of perception.
Is reality ever single? [Asks the determined subjectivist]

Reality can have a plural expression of its singularity.
As multiverse does not refute the universe.
Sorry for the poor imagery this morning.
