I spent time with my six-year-old friend Michael tonight – finding a ‘treasure box’ in the garden and turning dirt into gold…..Because every day I have the opportunity to turn dirt into gold. All the time. I just usually see it as “only dirt” and miss the magic. And when I see the love in my young friends eyes, despite all my incredible failings, I DO believe that I’ve got gold inside of me. And you know – you’ve got gold, gold inside you too. Check it out. And who knows – you may have a hidden treasure box in your garden too – you just never know….

Giving my more visceral self a chance to communicate with you, though the ego insisted on a little ‘after word.’ Some experiences consire to keep us totally embodied – and in being fully present to our body, we can let the chatterbox ego just drift away….
