A Single Desire

At the moment of awakening one realizes that what they have always been seeking is what they already are in essence.  In the great emptiness, the stillness and the silence, where everything and nothing resides, we already are perfect, enlightened and enlivened.  The laugh comes then to those who allow it – the absurdity of it all – the simplicity of it all – the perfection that we already are, when we realize that we have always already been Home. 

A Single Desire Awakeness is inherent in all things and all beings everywhere all the time. This awakeness relates to every moment from innocence from absolute honesty from a state where you feel absolutely authentic. Only from this state do you realize that you never really wanted whatever you thought you wanted. You realize that behind all of your desires was a single desire: to experience each moment from your true nature.
