If I really listen to my body, I can tell when I should be eating and when I shouldn’t be.

For example, today is a ‘not eating’ day, I think I have mild food poisoning (judging by the agonising intestinal pain and mild nausea). Heh.

Water is awesome, though I think under-estimated as an element. Just as some people forget that fire is the gentle warmth in a hug, or the warming play between cubs; so too I think people forget that water is the unstoppable force of glaciers, not ‘flowing around obstacles,’ but actually just destroying them (given enough time, that is); and the sharper, pointier ends of icicles.

Vavale, being a swamp deity, among other things, constantly reminds me of my connection to water and the earth in general. I think it’s a wonderful element to end up on, imho.
