Breathe in……..Breathe out
daily ease of in and out
slow and steady on the pillow
from the first crying gasp into light and cold
even though nestling at mother’s breast to suckle
with thoughtless instinct in the abundance all around
with reflex that keeps us all alive that pulls oxygen deep, deep into the belly and core
space opened for new clean air to fill our bodies
Breathe in…..Breathe out….
feel the power of our own body
to pull life and energy within
a gentle force in the space around you.
cleansing breaths to shine your light
to accept universal energy and pull it back in for
inspiration of the world around us and
expiration of the world within us
until there is only a gentle continuum.
Breathe in…. breathe out….
pull in calmness and joy, gratitude and peace
push away anxiety and fear, worry and anger
to feel your self, to know your self, to be grateful for your self.
our breath is who we are, what we believe and how we perceive our world
our breath is our life, and is our joy
is each day that opens and each day that comes to a close
like the sun coming up and the sun going down
like the moon rising high and the moon slipping from the skies
Breathe in…..breathe out……
“Remember to breathe. It is after all, the secret of life.”
~ Gregory Maguire, A Lion Among Men
