If you visited Just Alchemy before you will notice some dramatic changes, I think. All of the old posts are gone! or so it seems. I have actually moved them to a new blog space: MarysBookBlog.wordpress.com.

Talking about books is part of what I want to blog about for sure, but a space called JustAlchemy did not seem the right place to do that. Here I want to focus more on change and justice; more on stories — parable kinds of stories — and poems and other kinds of writing that are tellable and touching and that engage like a catalyst to evoke changes at the most elemental level.

So, here today is moving day, and a day of new alchemical changes!

 

Alchemy is about not waiting for the world to change

Just Alchemy?  sure. 

Just as in justice as in fairness.

Alchemy as in a process to transform matter such as turning base metals inot gold, so a process leading to paradoxical — transformative results.

For me, the alchemy of justice and human rights come together in stories, poems, myths and the principles and rules that guide our lives. So, here I will write about all of that, about those things that in some kind of way hint at transformation to a world that honors justice and celebrates  dignity and human rights.
