The way you weaved your reflections on the book in with your thoughts on the metals was nothing short of alchemy.
I had never thought about gold or silver in these ways. Admittedly, I don’t have or wear much of either. But I have always liked the idea of wearing an unassuming silver ring, I still haven’t done it yet, though. Maybe after this post… 🤔
Also, I really liked this line,
“Silver does not perform. It reflects. It accepts. It trusts that being, is enough.” :)
I've lost the ability to post emoji's on my "new-to-me" laptop but ALL THE GRATITUDE to you, M.E.
Thank you for reading, I hope you find your perfectly unassuming ring, and. you never feel like you have to perform, because just by being, you are so enough.
What an interesting reflection Kaylen. I've always worn silver and in my youth felt like it was because I wasn't classy or fashionable enough (later felt it was a skin tone choice). But interestingly, I have also always been drawn so much to the moon and all its feminine symbolism, so reading this essay gave me a very new way to think about it. I also find the spirituality behind alchemical process so intriguing. Thanks for sharing this!
I love your reflection and share, B. I have been drawn to the moon too, but I'm leaning into the stars these days. I find alchemy so grounding and fascinating as well - must be the magic in it. Thank you for reading and being here. Xx

I loved being invited to think about this! I have always ONLY worn silver and couldn't explain why. Maybe it would be good to mix it up a bit...
