“The word humility, like the human, comes from humus, or earth.
We are most human when we do no great things. We are not so important; we are simple dust and spirit—at best, loving midwives, participants in a process much larger than we.
If we are quiet and listen and feel how things move, perhaps we will be wise enough to put our hands on what waits to be born, and bless it with kindness and care.”

Be like the earth, humble and wise.
Be like the rain, pouring all your love
to every soul.

“Don’t dismiss the elements .
Water soothes and heals .
Air refreshes and revives .
Earth grounds and holds .
Fire is a burning reminder of our
own will and creative power.
Breathe them in .
Swallow their spells.
There’s a certain sweet comfort in
knowing you belong to them all”

‘I touch and surrender myself to the earth;
I become one with my true nature,
allowing it to emerge.
From these roots
I shall grow.’
