Earth and Flame with Words



This is Amorella. This photograph which is considered personally hallowed to orndorff was taken yesterday at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. He has written on his home Facebook page that the main objective of this blog is to focus on the spiritual aspects of being human through the author’s inner writer, Amorella. I am asking him to interpret the above photograph into Merlyn’s druidic mindset of ‘Earth, Air, Fire and Water’.


I have thought about this overnight and I cannot write what is within without help from Amorella. Here is what comes to mind:

Earth – that which we are, from toes to head to fingertips stretched high above and from brain to mind much higher. Earth allows us to survive intact, to live a life in this universe;

Air – within and without us – a shared invisible substance all human beings share more intimately than we would like to think. We are all violated before our first scream. No one remains a virgin of air and survives;

Fire – the inner fire in our bellies is theoretically set at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or thereabouts. A shared temperature for survival as it is a conditional for a healthy individual and the collective life of a natural snuggle;

Water – shared inside and out. Inverted fish, we carry our own private ocean within. Life in and on Earth along with the fire of our near and private star; and,

Our Fifth Essence (with Aristotle in my mind) is consciousness now and hereafter. Consciousness is invisible as is air and it totes our memories, our hearts, our minds, and our souls as individuals and as a collective of flowers and plows and swords. We are friends all, for the species’ sake. This is the Fifth, and I plead to the Heavens and the Earth alike, as we touch and are of both the Heavens and the Earth.

You see, orndorff, with my help you can do this without a pause.


I did write the above in one ‘movement’, [with a tinker of post grammar change] but do not know how a Druid or Druidess might think. This is what spontaneously came to mind. As such, to me, this is an inward interpretation of the photograph above.
