EARTH
It's small, after all
Inhabitable, for now
While rocks spin, hope floats
WATER
A body of you
It will never be enough
Foreseeable thirsts
FIRE
From scorched, lifeless ground
Sparks fly to light a new path
Through sparkling ashes
AIR
Sharp winds instigate
An epic oak tree battle

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
