Just as the blackest COAL transforms into brilliant diamonds over time, we can transform ourselves into the Spiritual Jewels we are at the core.
Finding our essence may take a bit of soul-searching and excavating, but we are all diamonds in the rough.
As we let go of Ego concerns, and wash off the accumulated debris and detritus, our inner light shines forth brighter than the stars in the night sky.
Eventually, we realize it’s not just COAL in the MINE . . . it’s gold!
To see the transformative magic of alchemy at work, try a word game!
In FUN with WORDS, I tossed out a few doublet challenges for you from the Guinness Book of Words.
Here’s a solution to #6: from COAL to MINE:
COAL ~ COAT ~ MOAT ~ MOST ~ MIST ~ MINT ~ MINE
Did you have this solution?
A different one?
A shorter one?
Please share your solution below.
More alchemy and transformation on the way!
Thank you Nancy.
You are welcome!
I probably should have included a link to Shine On You Crazy Diamond! : )
Maybe I’ll add one later.
Lovely analogy, Nancy!
Shine on you crazy diamond! : )
Hey Nance, I have to stay away from these challenges because I can loose all aspects of time. But I could not resist this one. You said, “Eventually, we realize it’s not just COAL in the MINE . . . it’s gold! So here we go:
COAL – GOAL – GOAD – GOLD – MOLD – MILD – MIND – MINE.
Back to my disciplines! 🙂
Excellent! Thanks, Amy.
Like you, I can lose all track of time while playing with words.
