Alchemy In The Air




After a cold, dreary February-esque April day in Minnesota it was beautifully shocking how magical the night was. As I cruised along the highway with broken wipers and snow and rain slowly accumulating on my windshield I glanced out at the road--the colors from road lights hitting the ground and splashing and smearing together with the rain-- it became apparent to me how beautiful this luminous night was.

All was calm save for the gentle dripping, like light drizzle, that I imagined the snow made as it hit the ground. I know that this gorgeous moment will not last for long, but for right now, I just want to enjoy it. I wish I could dwell in this moment, to make it my home, for more than just one hour of tonight. I long to seal it in a snowglobe and recreate the atmosphere just by shaking it. Yes, tonight there is alchemy in the air.


Alchemy in the air

Walk out the cinema after experiencing the classic
Wipe off your chin after that long-awaited chocolate
Go to sleep and dream after watching the Olympics
Dance and jump
and sing (just sing!!)
because alchemy is in the air


It is my hope that all of you experience some alchemy in the air at least one night this week.
