In this flow, wood catches fire. Fire burns down to ashes which creates
 earth. Earth compresses into metal. Metal collects and carries water, 
then water returns to nourish wood again.
 In our view, metal also relates to the lungs (metal=air) so it's almost
 like we're starting with a big, deep breath. True self-awareness shows 
humility, so we descend from metal to water.... 
 If you recall, the essence, or quality, of metal is to turn inward on 
its self. This is why metal is so dense and durable - because it's so 
tightly compressed and compacted. Well, if we apply this property to 
air, we can say condensed air turns into a cloud, and a cloud generates 
water - which is basically the following progression in the nourishment 
cycle. In short, metal and air are interchangeable in their ability to 
generate, sustain, and contain water.
