Embrace the impossible. Exclude no mixtures. Learn the secret, lost signatures of things. Immerse yourself in the language of silk and thighs. Assume you are only one step away from success. Take the Holy Dove prisoner; learn its arcane language. Believe your fingertips may shoot flames at any time. See through appearances to the invisible core of being. Guard your aura carefully. Do not expect gainful employment; even poets have better prospects. Burn your fingernails. Accept and nurture absurdity; make it the reason you never give up.   ~mce

How To Become An Alchemist
Embrace the impossible. Exclude no mixtures. Learn the secret, lost signatures of things. Immerse yourself in the language of silk and thighs. Assume you are only one step away from success. Take the Holy Dove prisoner; learn its arcane language. Believe your fingertips may shoot flames at any time. See through appearances to the invisible core of being. Guard your aura carefully. Do not expect gainful employment; even poets have better prospects. Burn your fingernails. Accept and nurture absurdity; make it the reason you never give up.   ~mce
