Breathing Meditation
Ever on the verge of a yawn or a sigh,
the Universe breathes through us;
tasting the wind of our thoughts as we breathe in,
tasting the world around us and breathe out,
expelling the essence of our inmost selves
for others to explore likewise.
When we forget this and breathe only for our selves,
we cheat ourselves of the wonder of our lives,
of the adventure of our coexistence with the Universe,
and we cheat the Universe of the experience of being
a part of what makes us, our unique selves,
thus extinguishing endless possibilities and
limiting the scope of the Universal Experience for all.
So we breathe in, to grasp the wonder that comes
from beyond our personal scope, and we
breathe out to release our observations and experiences
making room for the infinite expansion of our awareness of our universe;
Making and unmaking with each cycle.
