Fire and Water, Movement and Stillness

Fire is born of movement; water is born of stillness. Movement and stillness give rise to each other; water and fire subdue each other. Water and fire are function; grass and trees are substance. Function arises from benefit; substance arises from harm. Benefit and harm are revealed in feeling; substance and function are concealed in nature. With one nature and one feeling, the sage can provide the fuel for your fire.
