Every Breath
Alex Long
by Alex Long
You question whether every breath
has meaning. But how can some breaths,
some moments, contain more God than
others? Isn’t there a world of
microbial life, dependent
on your every breath for theirs –
bounded by your skin? Don’t others –
skin-wrapped – yearn for your continuing?
Try to see God’s heartbeat. Beating
through the fibers of your life;
open your eyes and look beyond
the limits of your conception.
See all your Self’s complexity
and beyond, to the infinite web
of pulsing, breathing universe.
