ELEMENT
EARTH
I am at the center of all directions, Where contraries meet. I've pacified my desires to settle into infinite materiality. Each of my gestures is a transformation. A slow back and forth motion that directs the digestion of primordial food. I am fertile and nourishing. I am fertile and nourishing. Everything I have conceived, sown and mothered has become. From a seed I make a tree, from limestone an egg, from an egg, a bird. Such as the moon in the firmament, I activate all energies. I hold back no mysteries, because I am full!
