And I am reflecting that it was the monks who did the chipping away AND it was the monks who covered it. It’s ALL spirit. Spirit is behind all of it.

Thank you all for the responses. Benjamin, your experience lit up a few things for me, mainly what a gift it is to do this work in community and know that in completely different parts of the continent we’re all doing the intense work to touch gold/source. Your experience of the column almost mirrored an experience I had with a very special client the following day. And the words, “but having glimpsed the gold under the mud, there is no stopping.” I felt the resonance of a kindred spirit and just the reminder needed to continue forward ardently.

Thank you all for your reflections!
