The four established elements are fire, air, water, and earth; but why not love? Love can be just like fire: sparks, comforting, heating and destructive. Love can be just like air: hot, cold, gentle, and harsh. Love can be just like water: fluid, frozen, dammed up and damaging. Love can be just like earth: solid, moveable, shifting and monumental.
As humans, we seek sources for all four elements, and so it is not surprising we also seek out side of our lovely selves for love? We look for love in music, books, food, and relationships. As long as it is dependent upon outside resources, will we ever feel secure?
Perhaps a reframe will rest my questioning soul. Personal fire is passion, breath is air, bodily fluids are water, and are we not made as a developed species of the earth? So love, then, is in the heat of passion, in the air we breathe, sprinkled in the fluids we drink, and surely resides within the cells we keep. We are the love we seek, so it would seem.
