For a long time, it can feel like a personal search: “I just want to be happy,” or “I just want to quiet my busy mind,” or, simply, “I want to wake up.” At some point our search may evolve from the personally ambitious into “I want to know what’s true,” or “I want to find out what it is that’s living this life.” And eventually, we may find out, to our great surprise, that it has been Life seeking Itself all along.
