You are the master alchemist, the unseen force that turns the ordinary into the divine. With the fire of love, you bridge earth and sky, heart and soul, weaving light into the fabric of all things.

Through your love, the boundaries of existence and nonexistence dissolve. What was once separate becomes whole. The lost are found. The forgotten is remembered. The profane is made sacred once more.

This is the great work of the soul…..to love so deeply that all illusion falls away, revealing the eternal light within. In love, there is no division, no distance, no darkness that cannot be transformed.

So light the fire. Let it burn in your words, your touch, your presence. Be the alchemist who turns life itself into gold, until only love remains.

With great thanks and reverence to Jalladin-Rumi who’s original quote was the inspiration for this short piece.
