Alchemy
I sent a note to my fellow limo passengers and said, wow, we went from zero to sixty in no time, how did we do that? And the response was a resounding, you!
I’ve been pensive lately about another common denominator – a dangerous liaison which has caused me to question myself, my motives, all thrown in with a little roughing myself up for choices I have made in the past and recently and wanting more than anything to do only those things that would make me proud of myself. I do subscribe to Maya Angelou’s wisdom – You did then what you knew how to do and when you knew better… you did better! – we are a certain way, we have a proclivity to burn at a certain flame, we attract those who are attracted to the multifacetedness of ourselves – the good and the bad – but we are the common denominator in our actions.
A bright flame provides comfort and warmth and light, it doesn’t have to burn, destroy and disrupt. But you have to know that, it’s the alchemy that occurs when you know.
