HAIKU BREATHING

Present in the breath

Inhale gives way to exhale

We breathe the same air

 

Try to hold the wind

Capture the unseen moment

Revel in your flight

 

YOu are an altar

Treasure of life made whole-ly

No breath is alone

 

It’s slow going with the return of light.  And, it’s a coming.  Days are finding themselves a little longer. 

A LITTLE SHARING…

I’m not sure how I got directed to this website and it’s lovely.  Tho’ I do not fit the Christian tradition in certain ways, I do embrace my own understanding of it and deep appreciation for elements of it.  I invite you to take a look and tell me what you think.  http://abbeyofthearts.com/

She made an invitation of choosing a word for the year.  A word that best describes what you might like to ponder, explore, and deepen your understanding of, in relationship within and around you.  Many words rose in me that I could feel push at me, that called me to consider.  “Pick me”.  Well… I took several days to contemplate it; thinking dang, I need more than one word.  I decided on one word that I felt was not only a word I feel deeply connected to, it was a word that with out the action of it none of us would be here.

I choose, ‘Breath’.  I have chosen this word before, or it chosen me.  When I concentrate on my breath, when I am mind-full of my breathing, I feel fully present in the moment.  Simply breathing, noticing the inhale and the exhale, nothing more than the gentle moment of life force filling me.  No other thoughts, just the concentration, even if for a few moments of Being present in my breath.  So, ‘Breath’ it is.

What word might you consider for yourself in this New Year?  I’d love to have you share that.  Thanks.
