One of the most important tasks of the spiritual journey is developing an ability to take the sand grits in our life - that is, our external challenges and internal failings - and transform them into a beautiful pearl, an image which represents the goodness and divinity lying hidden within all things. This approach does not involve denying the grittiness of life, but rather facing it head on and then using creative imagination and intuition to find the sacredness present there.
