Colors at Dawn

Breath is connected to the air that we breathe. Becoming more aware of breathing can bring more awareness to the importance of good air quality. The air that we breathe travels in streams (like the jet stream). Pollution anywhere on the the planet affects us all and makes it hard to breathe and live.


Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Morning light
Paints the sky.
Orange, yellow, pink and gray
Beckon
Bare feet on the cool 
Earth
And the song of birds
Joyously awakening
To a new day











Breath Meditation
The cool air
Awakens the contours of
My body and flows
Deep into my lungs.
A true breath
Of morning.
Without walls
In open space
Freshness fills
My being
Without effort
I am filled with breath
And joy.

Pink Rhododendron

For breath is life, and if you breathe well, you will live long on earth. Sanskrit Proverb


Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
First bloom
Bursts open from a plant 
In the earth
Not yet a year.
Low to the ground
Brilliant petals of pink
Cluster together to 
A boquet
An offering 
Waiting to be seen.














Breath Meditation
My breath, swirling light
Reaching inward to
The recessess of 
A deep wound.
The doors, open now
by love.
She can receive and breathe.
Quiet and dark
A child
Longing to be known
By those who
Value life
Sits
Receiving what was meant 
To be.
In the stillness of a breath
I am embraced.
