Calcinatio… the journey has begun…

What an interested few weeks it has been yet again. As if transformation was so inevitable now that radical changes and shifts have become necessary. Maybe we have now fully engaged on the alchemical path. There appear to have been lots of fire references around me lately… calcinatio, the first stage in alchemy: The man burned early at burning man, another friend has appendicitis, my friend’s house burned to the ground… Pretty amazing.
Even more beautiful and amazing has been the response of people to my friend’s situation. Apart from some precious personal items, her and her daughter lost pretty much everything in the fire. I put a call out to people and complete strangers have shown love and support beyond anything I would have imagined. My friend, like myself, has a hard time receiving and asking for help (isn’t it funny how many of us suffer from that?? ). Being in a situation like her current one, is not leaving her with much choice in that regard and she has found herself flooded in a tidal wave of love, support, kindness. Time for solutio, the dissolving, the loss of ego in oneness. Allowing is a big part of that. Curious to see what sublimatio will bring

• Quotes I enjoy

  We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.... We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims... If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference... Integrity is the essence of everything successful.
  Buckminster Fuller
