In our deepest and whole sense of self we are the luster of God. We reflect the presence of God from the truest part of who we are. The reason we do not see the luster of God in others is we have forgotten it exists in us so we can see it in others.  Like attracts like.  Light recognizes light.  If we can remember the luster of God within us we will use it to guide our seeing of ourselves, the world, and others.  We are fascinated by light and seek it out because it reminds us of who we are. When we reach for the hand of God and tug at it with the request to recognize the truth of who we are the luster will grow.  When we breathe in through our hearts we open the possibility of allowing the luster of God to move in and through us.  We then become the reflection of God for ourselves and others.  It does not mean we are perfect.  It does not mean we do not sometimes get lost in what we think is all dark inside of us.  It means we recognize that the avenue to get us reconnected to the luster of God is by pausing to breathe.
