Pink and Ruby Slippers


During the 2010 Grammy Awards, Pink performed a stunningly beautiful aerial ballet while singing "Glitter in the Air." Lyrics from the song include the words, "Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?"

While clearly written to describe the tenderness of intimacy, the words came to me unexpectedly in a flash of clarity. It was one of those rare moments when the world instantaneously drops away and one is bathed in the exquisite experience of an all-encompassing greater love.

It is in those brief moments that consciousness allows the realization that, like Dorothy and the glittering Ruby Slippers, Home has been, is, and always will be, the Divine Essence within.

And yes, it made me cry.
