Sometimes the natural world – animals, flowers, light – offers us radioactive jewels of experience, reflections of a beautiful world, reminders to find the light inside of ourselves and let it emerge, and to honor and respect it, even when others don’t. These jewels are the spiritual heart, the mystical fuel, the force that pulls us to a stronger and better place, if we trust it and are open to it. For most of my years, I never saw a single radioactive jewel of experience and now I see them almost every day. These jewels light my heart and power my spirit.
