Breathing Deep


Relax—
Fill the lungs and allow the ribs to expand.
Celebrate life with each breath

Exhale—slowly.
Let every expectation dissipate.
Breath is Life

Exhaled into the lungs of man
Life—created by breath
Breath—created by Life

And by a Word.
Ask John—In the beginning was—
The Word—and Breath—and Life.

Inhale—
Exhale—
Words are formed on the out breath

Share life
“Soften your Words” my yoga teacher says—
Exhale warmth.

“Namaste” my yoga teacher says—
The greatness in me
Acknowledges the greatness in you.

Remember to Breathe.
