Why in the world did I name my blog
barefoot alchemist?
barefoot – lacking a natural or usual cover like that of wearing no shoes or stockings
alchemist – someone who transmute gold or miraculous power of transmuting something common into something precious, the creation of a panacea or the elixir of life.
honestly, I chose the name mainly because these two words are associated with two of my fave things in the world. barefoot came from the popular lifetstyle network and cookbook author ina garten’s barefoot contessa. I liked her bcz I wnna be like her someday, sharing my passion in cooking, inside my beautiful house and sharing it wid my better haf. (hehehe) While the alchemist came from my super duper ever fave book by my equally fave author Paulo coehlo’s the alchemist. No futher explanation needed. (bow)
But by its simple meaning, I find the need to expand myself in further discovering the name of my blog--- barefoot alchemist.
I am a barefoot alchemist. A person bare to face the path of discovering life.
When you’re barefoot, you’re feet are planted firmly on the ground, w/o any protection -- no expensive shoes, no latest flipflops, no funky boots, no sheer socks/stockings or whatsoever. It lets you discover the roughness of the road ahead, the slippery floor, the fine sands between your toes, the cold splash of the wave, the smoothness of the hard marbled tiles. It lets you feel the joy and the pain of your traveled path, in the simplest yet truest nature. On the other hand, when you’re your own alchemist it makes you transform simple things into precious things. It makes you see life in a different perspective. You see your simple and common life and transform it into your own gold-like treasures.
That’s why I’m a barefoot alchemist. I am discovering my path. Letting myself be burned, bruised, stumbled and fall, stand up, move on and appreciate life as it flows into my own wavelength and find my destiny in this place called humanity.
