Breathe to sing
Breathe to run
Breathe to slow down
Breathe… it’s begun.
Why do we often forget that the one thing we are doing—all day and into the night, is breathing.
It’s what we do. We’re human beings on a journey, and we never think about the assumption we make every day—that we will continue to breathe.
Touching base with the breath slows us down, and allows us to reconnect with why we’re here: to live and be human. Maybe it’s yoga or some form of exercise that does it for you, or dancing, movement or the rhythm of drumming or another musical instrument, but regardless… how our body processes oxygen and allows carbon dioxide to exit is truly our existence. I forget how much it is important to remember that this as a part of us.
I am thankful to know I reconnect with it every once in a while. I have experienced much, and have also experienced awakening thoughts that many others are not so fortunate. I recently experienced a long-time friend departing after surrendering to a battle with terminal cancer and I say: hoor the breath, and be thankful for it. It makes us who we are… human. And it’s beautiful. And we live.
