We can never possess.

And what we possess

And eternity in an hour. [...]"

Remember that you are water: cry, cleanse, flow, let go.

Remember that you are fire: burn, tame, adapt, ignite.

Remember that you are air: observe, breath, focus, decide.

Remember that you are earth: ground, give, build, heal.

Remember that you are spirit: connect, listen, know, be still.
