The Inner Alchemist
It's Sunday! A fine day for an inner alchemist - what are you transforming? This poem is inspired by the ancient Tibetan meditation practice: Tonglen. (See link at the end.)
The Inner Alchemist The inner alchemist Turns Lead into gold Water into wine Winter into spring Breathing in anguish Sending out compassion The inner alchemist Transforms Caterpillars into butterflies Rags into regalia Mundane into magical Breathing in suffering Sending out healing The inner alchemist Coaxes Regret into acceptance Pain into possibility Tragedy into meaning Breathing in sorrow Sending out peace The inner alchemist Co-creates a more Beautiful world One breath At a time - Abigail Somma (inspired by the Tonglen practice)
