“What more do you want out of life?” she asked quite unexpectedly, looking straight into my eyes.

“I don’t know…not much,” I replied, turning away from her, taken aback, “I am really pretty happy with things as they are.”

I was superficially pleased with my answer, by my (apparent) acceptance of my Way – and yet underneath, I was disappointed, deeply disappointed. My answer was vague, evasive. Untrue.

Later, when I was alone, I was given the answer: “To be aware, ever aware, of the Love”.

“So now,” I ask myself as I write this, “what is it you really want out of life?”  And I reply, “To have that answer always in my heart.”

Thanks for the question – I needed it. Please keep them coming.
