Gold is valuable, but it takes considerable effort to find it, refine it, and combine it into a pin or ring.

That’s us! We all have many, many particles of gold within, but it takes effort….considerable effort to find it, refine it and make it into something. It will be a lifelong process, mining it out, and often we’ll need other gold-diggers (friends etc) to help us find the veins in us and dig them out!

Each of us has intrinsic value and worth that this world, our family, our workplaces, other people need for us to bring to the surface and offer in exchange to meet not only their needs but ours.

I give you a piece of my gold, shaped like a pillow I made that you want, in exchange for a piece of your gold, shaped like a bookshelf I want that you made.

I am a pie baker, that’s my gold, which you need for your dinner, so you give me some of your gold in exchange.

You have a golden idea to help my business, so I give you some of my gold for your idea.

I raise cattle, that’s my gold, to sell to your restaurant for your customers in exchange for their gold while they enjoy your meal.

I can’t sew my pillow without the sewing machine you designed and made because you knew someone would need one to make the pillow you might want!

It’s a circle of provision…finding, combining, delivering, meeting needs improving upon, developing another idea, a better product, adding more of your gold combined with some of mine….

Let’s gold mine together and capture every particle and bring them out and build together a better world!
