Earth

It is my experience and observation that working with the earth creates wisdom. As if an invisible thread of intelligence transfers from the soil into the hands. The quality of earth can be described as grounded, stable, balanced: a prerequisite to a deeper perception. It is this quality that is largely missing in the world of incessant movement and stimulation. 

The slow-moving energy has no time to start its journey. It is the fortunate ones who are able to maintain its existence within themselves despite the external chaos. To allow it to gain speed will signify a release of an immense potential, a tiny stream turning into a rapid river that, if left unguided, can create havoc. And so the dance of duality is to continue, from inertia to movement, from slow to quick, from earth to air. 

Earth is the basis. Earth is the support. Earth is a quiet knowing.
