Water

"Borrowed"


Water is the element of purification, the subconscious mind, love and the emotions. Just as water is fluid, constantly changing, flowing, from one level to another, so too are our emotions in a constant state of flax. Water is the element of absorption and germination. The subsconsciousis symbolized by this element because it is rolling, always moving, like the sea which rests neither night or day.
