Element of Love

2/06/17

A fish is equipped
to pull oxygen
out of water –
allowing it to
live in a different
element of earth.
And is fish not
at home in
the water –
swimming,
gliding through water
in a most graceful way?

But if fish
finds itself
out of water
on a bank –
it does not have
the ability
to maneuver –
and is that not
where the phrase
“like a fish out of water”
came to be?

And do you not say
when someone is
doing what they love –
“she is really in her element” –
is that not
like the fish
when it slips back
into the water –
able to breathe
and to glide
once again?

Can you learn
a lesson from fish –
finding what element
you thrive in,
a place where
effortlessly you glide,
in a most graceful way,
breathing in what sustains you,
as your surroundings
all support you –
no longer swimming upstream
or struggling to find
where you can be
in the flow?

Yes, and you can sense
when you are
“in your element” –
as you feel
the grace and ease
of the energy
around you –
and do you not
have all the elements
you need within?

When your energy
is connected to this
Flow of Love –
are you not lifted up,
and fully supported –
able to swim in the
Stream of All That Is?

With grace,
with ease.
May you live,
breathe,
and Be
an Element of Love.
