Perhaps at the human level, you did not think life would be so challenging. And now, here you are, deep in the muck. There is a deeper part of you that knew you would need boots and a shovel. It came prepared to work, knowing that growth comes not from sitting around, but digging in and mining this earthly experience for all its worth. And oh yes, as you do so, fully engaging with the challenges as well as the moments when everything flows, it is worth it, for you uncover the layers of human programming and enculturation obscuring the treasure within within within. Pick up the shovel, why don’t you, and go a-mining.

You are so very loved.
