So here’s me singing an ode to the Merganser &&&&

When I talk about the five elements I like to tell stories. For me, metaphor creates understanding. So my brother has had *a lot* of jobs throughout his years & almost all of them have involved wood. Building. Cutting. Selling. Creating. Ideas & projects & dreams. (Hi @spencc2!! ❤️) Casey told me this morning that the best firewood needs to winter over so it dries out & is no longer green. As in, you can’t rush into building a fire. There needs to be a period of rest first. In 5 element theory, that period of rest is winter - the water element. Like a clear cool silent frozen pond. Like a blanket of snow. Like firewood, resting. Then we wake up in springtime & it’s wood element szn full of new beginnings. Like a seedling sending down a root & sending up a pale green sprout. Tenacity & courage, from a tiny seed. However, that seed *needs* the warmth from the sun to grow. It needs fire. When we start a new project, when get creative, we need a spark. (In Ayurvedic practice this is called Kapha szn - water + earth = mud - & we don’t want to get stuck.) It’s a balance tho; tipping too far into fire will burn everything up. Which is why seedlings also need water to grow!

Okieeeee felt inspired today by my boo @alyxraeyoga so here’s a surprising little transition for y’all 🥰 loving shoelace for my hips & sacrum when those icy sidewalks just won’t quit 🥶
