is a transmutation of a seemingly miraculous change of something of little worth into something better. Imagine transforming dark polluted clouds into clean white ones with a contraption capable of cleaning the environment. After I was diagnosed with lymphoma (from which I am now in complete remission), I did research on the disease and found that there was uncertainty about the causes of the disease; however, there is some research that suggests environmental pollutants, chemicals, that may contribute. I see the body as a microcosm of the earth: a sick body and a sick earth both in need of healing.
