The Bonding of Fire and Water

As one would sometimes say, "A picture is worth a thousand words". In my case, I would say, "A picture is essentially saying it all, it just depends on who is looking at it". As the reader of the photo, I feel that I have been captured in the natural state of friendship with my dear element, Molly: They way I am looking at her, the peace sign she holds, our glowing smiles, the heightened sense of bonding... 
In many ways, I feel this picture reflects the people we are and what roles we play towards one another. (Of course, this can only be seen by me.) 
She is fire: The fierce competitor with a warm heart. She is luminous in spirit and lights up rooms, nights, and minds. Always eager to devour the negative and heat up the love. The energy she puts out to help others amazes me. She has the drive to take what she wants and she sparkles even when she reverts to embers. Naturally, she is amazing and talented, as the fire element.
I am water: I am not as powerful, but I know I am needed. I morph into what people need and I supply laughter as a cooling mechanism. I am always changing. I soak the wounded and dilute a bad day with positive sarcasm. I feel that I help people better, battling internal problems, rather than external. I am never too far away.
It was interesting living in the moments of becoming friends with her. Two different elements coming together and working together to make life easier, memorable, loving, and fun is very important for me to understand. I never put out her fire and she never evaporated my spirit. 


P.S. Happy Birthday Molly
