I find myself in alchemy

Today's realization came to me


in the understanding of the dynamic and action where I find myself.


In think I've been looking for erroneously for a fotm to fill rather than the alchemical process which is really the place that I hold dear, relating, creating and contact and making.


Relationships I've learned are essentially important but for the bipolar quality that my mood swings can take me, that has had to be learned by me in a really deliberate, slow way vis a vis trial and error.

"i find myself in alchemy"

i read that header last night and have since been lost in wandering wonders of what that might mean. i think of alchemy as the father of chemistry/metallurgy, but it also has a HUGE body of folklore to it. "the sorcerer's apprentice" from fantasia, among others, is providing soundtrack and imagery there.

care to elaborate on your take?

I find myself in the act of creating or doing. That is what I love and that is where I seem to be myself. From thinking about wisdoms and writing them to making art or other things.
I know it’s also crucial to respect relationships and it’s a tight rope to walk sometimes But in the alchemy of creation is where it’s at for me.

"transformation" is a recurring theme throughout alchemy history and folklore.

you do, indeed, seem to be in a period of transformation. alchemate well.

have you gotten those art supplies out of the closet yet? they sure could give voice to your alchemy of creation.
