The Breath of Consciousness

Will it arise, will it be still, 

When the movement is hurried and tumultuous?

Will it ease with a pass of the hand or a bow of the head?

All things pass.

All things transform us and show how still and encased. 

There is a movement to freedom in time. 

In the wind is held the breath of all beings,

And all are united in this motion.

The wind transports us and enriches, 

It blows the sand and stokes the fires,

It blends the droplets of the sea with the earth of the lands,

In the breath of light where consciousness travels to all beings. 
 

And in this connection we are unified.

Shall we sit and be still and breathe in the wind of conscious being?

There we feed the soul.
