The Golden Key

During the Easter holidays I was checking the car over in preparation for a long journey, when something caught my eye. It was a gloriously sunny day; in the border which lines the fence amongst hundreds of small stones I saw a golden key - an old fashioned long brass key. I’m amazed at how it came straight into my line of vision as I was stood some distance away. So I went over and picked it up, perfectly clean as it was I popped it into my pocket.

One of my favourite books - the kind which has the fragrance of many countries lingering in its yellowing pages is A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws by Diana Cooper; it has a wonderful chapter called The Law of Reflection. Basically that every person, situation or object is a mirror providing us with an important message about ourselves. For example if your car battery goes flat (as mine did last year) it could be highlighting the fact that your body or mind needs rest and ‘re-charging’.

As for my golden key, well keys open doors, doors opening represents new opportunities and people often talk about ‘golden’ opportunities, a key is also symbolic of good luck. ‘Having the key’ means having the answer/s too. I’m still working out what the message is - for a few weeks now I’ve been playing around with creating some fab affirmations which are quickly producing the results I’m after - I wonder if doing these affirmations is the ‘Golden Key’ I’ve found?
