Pyro-Creations

Earth and Nature may seem to go hand in hand, but I have experienced them separately. I relate to Earth like a mother, whereas I view nature like the grass, trees, flowers and animals. I see it as organic life sprung from the Earth. Nature is extremely stimulating. When I step outside and see the vivid colors surrounding me provided by natures naturally beauty, it is almost hard not to lose myself in awe for at least a moment. I always take the time to notice and say thank you for the beauty source has shared. To have gratitude, for it stands as a reminder that it is always there, showing it's love by bringing this stimulation to your day. By creating this energy and allowing it into your life to lift your spirits without any concern of acknowledgment, day after day. The colors and hues naturally present seem to stimulate the serotonin glands allowing for a since of happiness that is not found elsewhere. For this I have am very grateful and I find so much inspiration from nature that at times it feels like it feels me from head to toe with this golden light that I can't harness, but I can allow to flow through me. This feeling is one of the greatest feelings I have felt in my life and I love to get lost in it's glory.

Growing up, I had a safe place. It wasn't so much a location as it was a comfort zone. Perhaps it was because I was so close to the earth as a child, height wise and figuratively, that I felt the warm, caring energy radiating up at me. When I felt lost and needed love, there I found a constant. Outside snugged up against the earth, I'd imagine it encasing and holding me. It sooth me as a child, held me when I needed comfort. No matter where I found myself in life, I knew Earth was there for me. As a children, my brothers and I would build a lot of forts and tree houses. I spent a lot of time outdoors appreciating the warmth and comfort I found. The earth always provided me with a place to lay down when I needed rest. The energy I felt was safe, supportive and consistent. Things I needed to find my balance when I was lost. When I felt like my insides were in chaos, I found comfort laying against the ground, making a connection with source. It has always felt like a mother to me. I have great appreciation for the Earth and feel that many have lost this important connection to source.

I feel Wind represents movement, because Wind is in constant change. You can't predict the breeze, but we seem to find peace with it. For instance, when the Wind blows, the trees that choose not to bend, get broken. Those willing to flex, simply sway along with the breeze. The trees that remain flexible are able to accept and allow change, thus they are able to remain, strive and grow. I find myself outside laying there on the ground at times, absorbing the energy. Noticing how it's inconsistent, yet present. It still flows and exist non the less, like many energies do. You cannot control or force the Wind to do anything, at times you may guide it, but only if it's willing. The Wind thought me it's better to just be and not to resist change, for I am a smaller piece of a whole surrounded by unpredictability that I must find peace with.

I had to learn to respect fire. I was fascinated by it from a very young age. I would often set things on fire. Like my friends mattress, or anthers backyard. I even caught on fire myself and have a pretty big scar branded on the front of my leg to this day. I burned many things and lost control a few times, but I was determined to weld this energy! It wasn't until I was 18 that I discovered, I can weld fire! Until then I had only stared at the flames, watching them breath in awe of the heat and power the fire possessed. It was such an empowering energy that you couldn't help but have respect for it! If you lost site of this respect for even a moment, things could get terribly out of control. Learning and applying these values in my daily life have thought me some of the greatest lessons I have learned. I believe out of all things, respect was and still is at times, one of the hardest concepts for me to grasp. There's respecting yourself, respecting others and there is learning to have a mutual respect for everything. Fire thought me the ultimate respect, one I have never found naturally anywhere else in life. I find when I apply that respect towards all things, that life flows in a more controlled, manageable manner. As long as I hold true to this value, I find I can weld my life in ways through respect that I had never been able to before. I fell that fire has been my greatest teacher!

I was raised in a stressful, ever changing environment. I found myself clinging to anything that provided a constant. Water was one of the constants I had found. My family seemed to find it's way around fresh water a lot. I would often sit and watch it as it flowed, seeming almost unstoppable. At times I would test the water and create obstacles or barriers, but water had the patience to find a way around. I'd look around and absorb the evidence of it everywhere! Rocks have been made smooth, grooves have been dug out along the sides of the water bed; Slowly the water held it's persistence and made it's way. It stayed calm and remained constant. I would find myself lost in time, staring and absorbing the energy for hours. At the time, I hadn't realized the teacher I found or the connection I was making with source. Water is like my spiritual healer, it takes it's time too sooth me. It flows as constant energy and has the wisdom to proceed knowing in time it will find a way. I try to apply these values and allow the energy the time to heal and work with me. Floating, feeling the water around me has always been a healing experience that has helped me find my center.
