Surely something wonderful is sheltered inside you. I say this with all confidence, because I happen to believe we are all walking repositories of buried treasure. I believe this is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings, both for its own amusement and for ours: The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.
The hunt to uncover those jewels — that’s creative living.
The courage to go on that hunt in the first place — that’s what separates a mundane existence from a more enchanted one.

I'm so glad to know you, a person of immense magical dimensions.
What a miraculous post. Inspires and energizes and gives me hope. I must remember that in the darkest of souls is a jewel. Love the montage of a photo. Is that an elephant hidden inside?
Love her perspective! I must go on my treasure hunt! :) before it's too late for me... and start bringing out the hidden magic! - the hidden jewels... Am feeling inspired already :) Love your photo - the images in it are pure magic :D Have a magical day!
