I forget exactly how this came to be the center for me, I believe I saw it in some small group session papers, but I became focused on it and thought, well, that one question could be the center of my work with myself and others...

...and it probably initiated the end of the relationship I was in at the time because after much talk about this one night she said, "I want to live alone." And tough as it was at the time, it is good.

And I brought it here because I was visiting with someone near the end of her life and I asked her, "What do you want?" She stopped talking and gave the question due thought...and I waited...and she said, "I want my children to be happy. It took one of them several starts, but he is finally happy. That's all I want." She died several days later and I'd like to believe she was satisfied.

I brought it here because I believe in conscious living. And I'd like to think that if we can be thoughtful and conscious about what we are doing, we can have fulfilling lives in the here and now, while we still have a chance to do something about it and our attitudes about all of it - if need be.

What do I want? I want it all to matter...and to have fun whilst being.

Blessed Be.
