Glitter

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost. #JRTolkien 

Gold is a soft, pliable metal that doesn't resist change. Sometimes it glitters. Other times, gold is heavy, gets rubbed the wrong way with unsavory passions and greed, and it turns cheap. Pick up what glitters.

Life glitters. The thrill of 'opportunity' can be a rude awakening.  Deep roots like dignity and curiosity keep us clear about what's real.  Our senses are energy portals to active compassion that stimulates dreams and highlights priorities. Insights reveal boundaries. Thriving takes a plan and action. We  need to stay safely between structure and serendipity. Intuitive strategies, like curiosity and courage, bring shine  of perspective to show the way.  

A nugget of pure gold shines from your heart. Notice energy you sense. Use intuitive strategies  like curiosity, courage and patience to enter the golden light of balance. Opportunity surrounds you. Recognize the depth your awareness. Share dreams.  Value your time. What matters are simple things like food, kindness, health and love. We don't need laws to define who we are. Love, kindness, music and courage are spiritual glitter.  

Gold glitters in in almost every color. It is the sunset and moonrise of our emotions. In that in-between space where we exhale and begin again, follow the light of integrity and determination.   Trust what you sense. Allow priorities and potential to come into focus.  Love happens.

Today, an artist sitting next to me on the Q train designed a cool graphic for a t-shirt on his phone. It was a crown sitting jocularly on the head of a magic moment of joy. In the space of two stops he told me he hoped other people spending time on  phones on the train were also doing something creative. Taking advantage of the gift of time matters. 

Life is a journey. Change and chocolate are always part of my life. Sometimes I run out of chocolate, but the dance of change doesn't stop. 

Music is a portal. Listen with your heart and connect with your answers. Intuition is there.
