Before-word: How often do we think about breathing? Maybe never, right? Because it’s such an innate part of who we are, happening independent of us, we don’t really think about it. Especially as we’ve had to wear masks for many months, at the start of this new week I pause to poetically acknowledge breath.
Whimsical, as light as feather
Breath, a gentle breeze
Sustains life’s eternal flow
Peace in each exhale
Inhale to exhale effortlessly
Inhale life’s sweet air
Exhale worries, find solace
Breath unites, heals all
Rhythmic in-and-out flow
Beneath starlit sky
Breath ebbs and flows, life’s rhythm
Vital energy
Sustainer of life
Lungs embrace the air
Vital rhythm of existence
Breath whispers, “Be alive”
Cannot be voluntarily constrained
Breath dances freely
Liberation fills each lung
Freedom whispers life
Powerful controller of life and death
You’re life’s beginning
A faithful companion
Constant to life’s end
Breath

Absolutely. We shouldn’t take it for granted. But we do, don’t we?! ☹️We go about like every breath is guaranteed. Oh … but it’s not. Moment by moment living. 💕
