"I hate this suffering," she groaned. "I hate when Death feels us up and contorts beauty misshaping it to ultimately clarify it purging us through breaking every last vestige of our antiquated notions of Being."
Alchemy.
Yes. Don't we all hate that? There are many deaths that we die whilst living a full and rich lifetime. It's painful. It's breathtaking. It's doubt incurring. It feels hopeless and terrifying. We wonder if it's all worth it. Thus we learn that sometimes we need to make allowances. We make room. We adjust. We align and then we realign. We do this physically to get more comfortable. We do this Spiritually to get closer to the Divine. We do this in increments of refinement through heart and mind.
Alchemy.
Death carves and manipulates us like a sculptor who sees more within the marble facade of all we've ever been through previous incarnations and all that we presently are. Here, then, NOW we are dying Death one more time for what we might become as we perpetually reincarnate into our own Life's Light. Again. Time and time again. Yet, we rise up through the dark abyss of decay tendered, marinated, softened, honed, sensitive, mewling, hungry and naked. Within this framework we are made New.
Alchemy.

Alchemy.
This is, perhaps, the greatest gift a Dark Night of the Soul bequeaths to us.
