I've been pondering the element
Air and all that it signifies . . .
I would have to admit, I find Air
to be one of the most intriguing
of elements. In a sacred circle,
Air is housed in the East. I like
to think of the sun coming up
in the East, high up in the sky
midst all that sweet, lovely air . . .
Rather fits doesn't it?!
Let's look at some of the different
meanings attributed to Air. The
first thing that comes to mind for
me is freedom. Think, free as a
bird. The freedom of the skies is
a pretty amazing thing.
Air also represents intellect. The
gift of intellect is ever so precious.
Alas, it is not given to all and
should certainly be cherished and
cared for. I believe that intellect
gives way to thought and perhaps
thought to speech . . . freedom of
speech. There's that word freedom
again.
Lastly, Air gives us that wondrous
breath of life. There are no words
for the gratitude I feel for this gift.
Without Air, there would be no life.
I much lament how often I have
simply taken this for granted . . .
bless the gift of air
am grateful beyond the pale
worth thinking about
