No I think that's spot on as long as it results in complete awareness of Being. Being instead of desiring to Be is like the Buddhist saying regarding trying "there is no trying. There is only doing or not doing." To be anything outside of Being, one succumbs to desires that are counterproductive to such an end result. One could also restate it as that famous quote "to be or not to be".
So we can desire all to our hearts content but if we don't practice what we preach, such desires become an anchor restricting us from further awareness and completeness of obtaining that all "desirable" I AM that we all, including myself aspire. Come to think of it, wouldn't aspire be a better word than desire? Maybe its a matter of semantics but it does a nice ring to it as opposed to desire.
