Of Water, Spirits, and Tequila Sunrise

Dissolution—

1. The separation of the whole into its component parts
2. Indulgence in sensual pleasures
3. A breaking down of bonds
4. The second stage in the process of spiritual alchemy

This piece of creative nonfiction is a blend of personal memoir and scholarly research detailing the author's journey through the alchemical process of dissolution and is meant both to entertain and enlighten.
