I’m *THAT* Alchemist Friend

I’m the friend that encourages you to transform pain into wonder. This is what spiritual alchemists do, we transmute the chaos life throws our way and use the energy of it to create our own fancy art show on the inside.

It’s a fundamentally creative act to take the pain and change its shape, rearrange the patterns and bend the lines for the heart’s own efficient and visionary purposes.

The footprints of the alchemist are found in wounded places. They lead us directly into the dark night, where we do our best work. Alchemists bow with gratitude before inner altars of growth and healing. Gratitude allows beauty to bloom where generations of pain existed.

To walk with alchemy is to walk with intention into the mystery and magic of falling apart, again and again, so that we can come together, again and again.

Yep, I’m gonna be that friend moving with you towards the heat, towards the pain, hand in hand, heart to heart, you are not alone.

Let’s keep tempering our wounds in the fire of wholeness. Let’s hold hands and watch as they transform into something fresh, reimagined, and exciting. Let’s keep reclaiming our gifts.

I have to say that I love the way we stand on the brink of disaster over and over again. Still, we show up confident in our innate capacity to connect with the wonder of it all.
