Campfire cycle
Four Elements in balance
Fire
Blazing light and heat
Warming both our hands and feet
Campfire marshmallows sweet
Air
Wind whips sparks up high
Swirling round and round, they fly
Evening breeze is nigh
Water
Pouring liquid on the fire
Quenching, sizzling (sounds will tire)
turning embers black.
Earth
After embers’ hiss
Smothered snug, by rocks and sand
Calm returns to land.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
