Hungry

"when my soul starts growing, it's gets so hungry, I wish it never would stop growing"

I've had that song running through my head all week as I wrap up my year of school. When my soul starts growing. I like that idea. I like to picture a growing soul. We refer to people as having an "old soul," but I hope I am never an old soul. I hope I'm always hungry.

I want to be an alchemist. I want to be a person who takes the ordinary things in life and transforms them into something meaningful. Is that not what life is about? About taking the ordinary and making it valuable and in that process or participation becoming transformed oneself. Participation in life mixed with the ideals of working for something more. Knowledge and action.
My soul has been hungry. I can feel it. And it feels so good to be growing again.
