alchemy

where I would have previously turned away,

like prey instinctively running from its predator,

out of fear,

I am learning to face

the d a r k f i r e.

the cosmic place

where life and death become inseparable.

where acceptance of pain and suffering

becomes the hot fuel for alchemy.

but why?

why step into the fire?

the most uncomfortable aspects of this human experience?

oftentimes we don’t know why, and that’s part of the heat.

but this time

I know why.

I come with purpose.

I am learning to face

the d a r k f i r e

because it is the place

where the doors to creativity are unlocked

where the CODES to a sustainable future are kept,

like a treasure,

only accessible after taking the journey inward…

the alchemical journey

of healing.
