Pure Awareness...

Pure awareness, simple presence here and now,

is that deep part of you where true and lasting happiness always exists because it is that part of you that does not resist anything at all.

It's the one, unchanging core of you that isn't disturbed when the circumstances, people or things in your life are less than perfect.

Circumstances, people, things in your life are ALWAYS "imperfect" in the sense that they don't necessarily do what the more "surface" parts of you would like them to do.

They always just do what they do, whether you happen to like it or not.

But the awareness, the presence, doesn't judge or evaluate circumstances, people or things, it is simply aware of them, it is simply present to them.

That is why it's always happy.

It can't ever find any reason NOT to be!
