You may not yet recognize the deeper reality, the mystical, spiritual dimensions that often go unnoticed in everyday experience, until sooner or later you find your soul touched, your heart opened. One morning in 2002 I hurried through Southern sun streaking George Street in downtown Sydney. I was on an ordinary errand, annoyed by shoppers and tourists and business people crowding the sidewalks around me, getting in my way. Suddenly I did a double-take. The man with the business suit and the bad haircut crossing the street toward me had a pure white light filling his chest. Then, so did the woman in red stilettos walking beside him, the t-shirted tourist and the young girls in sun hats, and…everyone, all going on as normal. Had I missed this all my life? For long minutes, lost to bliss, I saw the holiness in everyone on that ordinary day on George Street.
