Our
lives resemble a field containing gold dust scattered here and there
across its wide expanse of mostly ordinary minutes, hours and days.
These flecks of gold represent those moments when we perceive our union
with the Divine in an especially clear manner. Our task as seekers is
to gather all of these moments, employ the fire of love to melt them
into a single substance, and make a concentrate that can then be used to
"paint" ALL of the moments of our lives with a beautiful gold leaf
covering. We do this by making a practice of repeating a mantra or
prayer phrase throughout the day that distills the essence of these
moments into a few choice words.
