Torrefaction

"Torrefaction," in alchemy lore, is the process of heating metal in a furnace until the base substances are burned away, leaving pure silver or gold.

Thanks to Carl Jung, medieval alchemical concepts have taken on whole new meanings in the realm of the spirit, useful (to me anyway) when pondering life's more challenging aspects.

How appropos to leave you a first comment on this posting...

I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for your comment over at Afrindie's blog... as a struggly adoptee, it means so much to me to hear postive feedback from adoptive moms, or, would-be adoptive moms who are willing to pay attention to the hard stuff.

Thanks...
