Four Elements
= Compass of Principles =

"First, Earth. The pasture beneath, your material foundation. Whatever that forms a structure: Strings holding you firmly together, Framing and supporting the dynamic shapes of life. It's a solid and heavy substance — so remember: Stay grounded — but never let the ground swallow you. Know your roots — but don't be stiff and rigid in your ways."

"Next, Water. The flow of rivers, the ocean and the rain. Whatever that holds together: Flowing from one moment to the next, Adapting to the shapes it meets on its course. It's a flexible and ever-changing flow — so remember: Flow along — but never let the flow carry you away. Feel your stream — but don't get lost splashing around in it."

"Then, Fire. Flames boiling the pot, the sun shining in the sky. Whatever power and potential: Kindled in every encounter and reaction, Illuminating and transforming everything it meets. It's a reshaping and clarifying force — so remember: Shine bright — but never let the flames rule you. Wield your power — but don't let it seize and scorch your mind."

"Finally, Air. The wind crossing the skies, the air we breathe. Whatever that moves freely: Spreading and pervading all directions, Rising to heights and broadening your perspective. It's a light and uncluttered expanse — so remember: Soar high — but never evaporate into the sky. Expand your reach – but don't be scattered by the winds."
