Life’s moments can sparkle with golden nuggets.
There’s digging to be done to find even just one.
Focusing a pointed look into the memory,
Leaning into the sharp, chipping away of surface information is work.

Anticipating beauty, fear has now been brushed aside.
Look! See the golden hues.
Exposing thoughts and emotions, the precious nuggets are pried loose and cradled in hand.
The blessing of the golden moment weighs heavy in the heart and mind.
Gratitude gives way to joy.
