I had this idea a few days ago, but after going to see Cirque Du Soleil's Dralion, I wanted to write it tonight. I hope it's okay that I made Earth and Fire masculine and Water and Wind feminine. Anyway, enjoy Eye

---------------------

The elements flow within me, and I honor each one of them with the life I live.
My skin was formed from the very EARTH I walk upon.
I honor him with the STRENGTH in my muscles.
My blood was formed from the WATER I drink.
I honor her with the CLARITY of my decisions.
My breath was formed from the AIR in my lungs.
I honor her with the WORDS I speak.
My heart was formed from the FIRE sparked within.
I honor him with the PASSION of my spirit.
With these four elements, I am whole.

I had considered adding Wood

I had considered adding Wood in since it could relate to the growth of antlers, but since it's not so traditional I decided not to. Some cultures substitute Earth with Wood, anyway. I think I'll just leave it as-is. Thanks for the comments, and maybe I'll experiment with chanting this during my meditation.

Maybe leaving Wood out is a good thing so that it can relate to anyone or any animal and not necessarily deer.
