LOS CUATRO ELEMENTOS

I was born to a land of old magic and myth. I inherited from my parents the love of life and sea. I learned from my family the tenderness of a smile and a hug. I loved my friends for their talks and laughs, cries and council. I studied from books and nature the facts of life and learned the secret of importance from God, Nature, and my soul.

I learned to walk and run on sand, far from the city life. I enjoyed the sounds of seaguls and marveled at the crash of the waves against the shoreline. I was aroused by the contact of the sea against my naked skin. I swam discovering the myriad of colors of the waters under the sun and some times of the stars and the Moon itself. I fell in love with sunsets and walks before night came. I learned of magic and the occult from books, tv, movies, friends, and family. I saw with my own eyes and believed.

I am a man of myth living in a time when myth is science and science is religion.

I am a son of the oceans, the waters, the winds, the clouds, the sun, the moon, the stars, nature, flora and fauna.

There are many a creature is this world that belongs to gone-by times when Gods walked this Earth and myth was part of History and everyday-life. The creatures I talk about covered the Earth and the Waters protecting Nature. They represent the importance of caring for those who are silent and don't talk as we do, the trees and the plants, the rivers and the oceans. Here's a small number of those beautiful beings called Nymphs.
