' The sense of 'Aha' ...

We don't love it because it makes us feel good or is good for us, or because it means an attainment of one kind or another, or because it represents some kind of enlightenment or advancement.

We love it because we know that when we are real, we are home—no matter the sensation or the flavor.

Sometimes being real means allowing pain or accepting a painful truth.

Yet something in us aligns with an inner ground of authenticity when we are real.

We love it because of its inherent rightness in our soul, the sense of "Aha, here I am and there is nothing to do but be."
