"I write to metabolize those emotions (grief, pain, anger) into healing for me and for others." Oooh, I love this image!

I don't remember where I first heard the concept of "metabolizing" your emotions. I also like "alchemizing" and "crystallizing" and "distilling."

I love "alchemizing." I used that word in a poem recently, and I loved what that word did to the structure of it.
