A Yung Pueblo Poem on Balance and The Elements
Updated: Dec 3, 2022
We share this poem with you from Yung Pueblo's book of poetry Clarity and Connection.
May it cultivate balance in your body and spirit, as it connects us to the elements.
practice the strengths of earth
have a giving nature
be grounded in your purpose
hold firm in times of turbulence
cultivate the qualities of water
move through life with gentleness
have access to your power at all times
flexibility and persistence increase success
embody the teachings of fire
transmute what you experience into light
be strong enough to have clear boundaries
have an awareness of when you need more fuel
internalize the values of air
release your expectations
embrace the constant movement of change
seeing is not everything; feeling is essential
(balance)
