It seems very contrary to say it is all about you, however, from your vantage point-it really is. If you love something, it is your love for it that makes it special. The experience in you - has an alchemy that is all internal, all you! That is what nostalgia is that a memory of something, that you hold something dear. That memory is sacred to you.

So from this perspective, we want to live our lives, creating relationships with everything that posses this type of “alchemy” -it gives our life more “life force”, spiritual sustenance and energy.
