Friday Five of Alchemy

Posted on Oct 28th, 2009 by Jessica : The Evolutionary Connector - Gaia Jessica
From the Team Blog

1) Do you believe in miracles?
I hope so, I think so. I'm not sure today. I pray so.

2) Name one place that you have been that has felt magical, brought you peace or comforted you?
The planetarium

3) Name one thing you treasure?
My grandmother's jewelry, clothes that I have form after her passing.

4) In one to five words, name one place, person, event or thing that has felt magical to you or cheered your heart.
In a forest in Australia, there was a ledge overlooking the trees, covered in moss. It felt like a fairy-land place.

5) In less than 10 words, if you had one wish to go to somewhere or be with someone, from any time where would it be or who would you visit? (Go with your instinct :) It would either be, to take my now-self back 18 or so years ago to my grandmother's house to visit her. Or it would be to take myself back to the end of January, this year an revel in some of the happiest days of my life. I'd tell myself to make different choices too. (I know that's more than ten ;)

And you?

Hmmm... I like them all, metal is probably my least favorite, but it's dominant in my Taoist astrological chart, go figure.

2) What's the weather like where you live? (hot, sunny, wet, dry, windy or cold, etc.)
It's pretty hot right now. Dry and hot with the fires. Of course, in Santa Monica, where I often am, it is moist too. In the mornings and evenings there is often an ocean fog or mist hanging in the air.

I do! I like swimming far out where it's calmer.

4) Did you study chemistry in school? Did you like it?
Yes and yes.

5) Do the elements show up in your spiritual life or religion? (symbolic candles, the smoke of incense, the cleansing of water, or a connection to the land)
We light three special candles on the altar in my Tao practice and the I Ching is all contains the elements as combinations of yin and yang. My family is Jewish and of course there are many symbolic candles and lights.

I have a lot of dreams and usually remember bits and fuzzy pieces.
