Kissing a mezuzah, sparks of holiness flying off an object of mitzvah, like electric lights, flickers of holy flames, mezuzot lighting up in gloriousness, shining cases of gold, silver, or bronze, seeing every doorpost rescued as a safe door to enter, a safe room to occupy, a safe place to sleep, a safe room, a safe place, a protection against evil.
Passing through a doorway where a fence encircles it, a fence where no evil can penetrate, a fence around The Torah, a symbolic fence around a room.
G-d is in that room with you, He is everywhere and even more so in a room protected by a mezuzah. Catching a glimpse of its golden case, kissing one's hand to place the kiss on the case, always respectful of Jewish ritual objects, always nearer to G-d when we interact with them.
A holy way to enter or exit a space, being inside a holy place, having only holy places all around you.
A kiss that means you love it, that you love being in love. That you love being in love with G-d. That you love being protected. That we steer clear of evil, brush it off, do not associate with it, we are kissing the good, kissing the righteous, always in love, always in love with the good.
Goodness everywhere, mezuzot everywhere, love everywhere, G-d everywhere, protection everywhere. Living a life in love with a mezuzah!
