To breathe is primary. Vital to life. Yet breathe often happens without awareness.
Breathe is an invitation to the harried and frantic. The weary and emotionally drained. The ecstatic one who prances with jubilation. Breathe functions to settle and offers perspective. For regardless of the current state, breathe is held in common.
Breathe is bound by the organism in question. And will be affected by what this vessel does. Or leaves undone. Breathe has no choice in the matter. But the organism does.
Breathe may be held. Or used up. Or taken. Or restricted. Or set free by another.
Never working alone, breathe depends on vital partners. Those seen. And unseen. If any partner is threatened, breathe is in jeopardy.
Breathe may come easier for some over others. But in most cases may be accessed by all.
The true power of breathe is rarely exhibited. If only to pay closer attention? To listen to the ins and outs. The ups and downs. Life circulating from the world to within. From within to the world. This beautiful invisible dance on display for an audience of only few. But this is surely true – the value of entering this world with intention is well worth the price of admission.
Breathe beckons all who seek fullness of life. All who wonder about both the simplicity and mystery captured from one moment to the next.
May we slow down enough to enter this sacred space. And respond with a grateful heart. Amen.
