Awareness Itself

It is awareness itself, rather than the objects of our attention, that is most important.  Can we rest in awareness itself, be the awareness, the quality of our own mind that immediately knows any movement within itself, any appearance of a thought or feeling, an idea, an opinion, a judgement, a longing?  In awareness, each thought can be seen and known.  Its content can be seen and known for what it is.
