Hibiscus

"Breath is the rhythm of life " Hippocrates

Three Deep Breaths

Something Beautiful
Hibiscus

The orange flower is poised on its stem,
Like a small paper mache bowl
Taking in the soft rain.

 










  
Breath Meditation
As I breathe in, my breath is like the soft rain
that nourishes the inner surfaces of my being.
As I breathe out, my breath gently touches 
the world around me.
When I am in the brief rest that follows,
I feel the surrender of a child
rolling down a hillside.
Over and over, I am nourished, gently contacting
the world around me, and surrendering.
The worry, the work and the lists, all yield to a true vitality
and relaxed joy.
