Mothers and Daughters Facing the Elements

*Fire and Water

Second in Fire Series

Long ago, it was written as a cautionary tale

to Mothers of Fire and Daughters of Water

to heed the elements of their celestial signs

for Mothers of Fire to raise their Daughters of Water

would be an exercise in humility and restraint.

For Mothers of Fire have a tendency to heat

and blaze quickly,

while Daughters of Water have a tendency to surge

and diffuse.

In order to bolster each other and not extinguish,

nor diminish each other,

it is important for each to learn how to

balance and how to pace their energies.

For when they work together balanced and paced,

extraordinary meals and respites are made,

and natural wonders created.

A vivid blue sky with white clouds is in the background, with a geyser spewing water in the very center. In the foreground there is a pool of water with a rocky rim.
