When the Zen Master attained enlightenment he wrote the following lines to celebrate it:

“Oh wondrous marvel:  I chop wood!  I draw water from the well!”

After enlightenment nothing really changes.  The tree is still a tree; people are just what they were before and so are you.  You may continue to be as moody or even-tempered, as wise or foolish.  The one difference is that you see things with a different eye.  You are more detached from it all now.  And your heart is full of wonder.
