Analogue 63  The Sacred Quaternity In this world crops are cultivated and gathered into barns using four elements: soil, water, wind and light. Likewise God also cultivates the world through the elements of trust, hope, love and enlightenment. Our soil is the heart where trust takes root. Hope is the water through which we are nourished. Love is the wind by which we grow, and enlightenment is the Light which causes us to ripen. It is grace, then, which has caused the humble of the earth to reign over heaven.
