Just as water flows down a mountain, we can approach our situation with fluidity. We can face each day with the grounding of Earth or navigate new emotions with the lightness and non-attachment of Air. Since the dawn of time, the planet has whispered wisdom through the elements.
As our world advances, it becomes easier and easier to ignore our connection to Earth. In 2022, I spent 6 months hiking 2,200 miles along the Appalachian Trail. Despite my conditioning to live as a domesticated human being, I discovered that I could still tap into my wildness. As I sweated away the chemicals built up in my body, I noticed a change: animals no longer fled from my tracks, and I could detect the slightest change in the air. You are still an animal, an integral part of the web of Mother Earth.
