First of all, may you find yourself, often,
"rejoicing in every [kind] offering that life throws your way."
I don't think she means to rejoice in unkind offerings?
How does one do that?
You have to be real about how hurtful in can be when unkind things land...
and figure out how to get them to bounce off with as little injury a possible
is what I'm thinking.
That's not to say that unkind things can't be useful.
Sometimes you can spin them into gold and watch
goodness pour out as a result.
That's the kind of magic I'm looking for these days.
How to turn all this straw we're living in the midst of
into gold.
Not coin gold but spirit gold.
Not the gold that leads to oligarchy,
but the gold that leads to laughter and joy
even if there aren't two pennies to rub together.
The kind of gold you can feel but you often can't see.
The kind of gold that doesn't require a deal no matter how artful one is.
The kind of gold that doesn't mean having to kiss anyone's *&^.
The kind of gold that carries us through horrendous happenings.
May we all keep spinning straw into gold...
together!
The gold of decency, dignity, equality, fairness.
Namaste'
