love"Calcination is the first of seven major operations in the alchemy of transformation. Psychologically, this is the destruction of ego and our attachments to material possessions. Calcination is usually a natural humbling process as we are gradually assaulted and overcome by the trials and tribulations of life, though it can be a deliberate surrender of our inherent hubris gained through a variety of spiritual disciplines that ignite the fire of introspection and self-evaluation."
This is what I'm working on right now. It should be easy, but it's not. I've been through a lot of trials and tribulations in my life and I'm still not humble. So, now I'm trying to do it deliberately. It's not anywhere as easy as that paragraph makes it sound.
Since this is my first blog, I suppose that now is as good of a time as any for introductions. I'm Elly, I turn 32 next month, I'm polyamorous, and I'm a hermeticist. I write poetry. I'd tell you more, but that's pretty much all I really know about myself. I guess that's where the evaluation and introspection in the first paragraph come in.
Right now, I'm really missing my Jonathan. It's hard enough that he lives in Ohio anyhow, but right now he's in New York and our 'calls time' is cut off for the week. He's my Heart and my best friend. I promised him I'd write him a letter while he was gone, but I can't think of anything new to say in it. My life is fairly mundane, at least in my opinion. He'll have all this neat stuff to tell me from his trip and all I've got to tell him is my struggles with trying to master calcination.
I'm also watching my other primary partner, John, read a book right now. He's got the MP3 player going. It's loud enough that I can almost make out the words. He's reading Skin Trade by Laurell K. Hamilton again. He's so absorbed that I don't think he knows that I'm watching him. I'm going to tell him to try to call his Dad again in a moment.
I guess that's all for now. I'll probably write more later, at least that's my intent.
