Dear Friends and Community,
I hope that we are all holding together well enough to be okay. I don’t feel to many words coming forth tonight, but I know it is not always up to me what gets to be said.
What stuck with me this evening was this thought about the way we breathe. And it stuck because I have been very aware of my breathing with the vertigo. I have been breathing each breath with a prayer.
The words are Rumi’s, “There is a way of breathing that’s a shame and a suffocation.And there’s another way of expiring a love breath, that let’s you open infinitely”. And when I read it it made me think of everyone, all of us, endeavoring to live our life, with all our many concerns, worries, fears, and responsibilities, with all the things we are enduring in all the ways that we are. All the struggling to get things right for all those we love, and yes, even for ourselves. And to feel the potency of how we may be breathing through it all…which is not well at all at times or maybe not at all. A shallow, breath, or even one held and constricted. Never allowing the breath to carry us though our days in the awareness of each of them being a lift on the wing of a prayer.
My vertigo, for the most and worst part has retreated. And I feel it was my awareness through every breath, and the prayers that were strung along with each one that got me through the worst of it. And I felt like there were angels and all sorts of spirit helpers and guardians with me to see me through it. I was deeply supported by love.
I will finish down below after the weeks schedule and upcoming events.

The Way of Breathing…
The infinite opening is a knowing that you are okay and you will be okay. It is a love breath because we open to what we feel we need, and we breathe towards that love and we allow that love to be given to us. And we return it with another conscious breath, grateful for the exchange, the conversation, and the knowing that we are never alone.
Exasperated breaths and sighs sometimes feel like that is all we have. But tucked in them is the rejuvenating exchange of breathing with awareness, and getting a return for each breath like that. The return of space, a return of power, a return to feeling present and okay. And it is simply a simple awareness of breathing in and breathing out that allows us to be carried to each new now more clear. It is an on board tool and navigational system that keeps our engine running cool.
And this was the next thing I read, Rumi as well, and for me it just brought me back to the breath.
“Keep walking though there is no place to get to.
Don’t try to see through the distances.
That’s not for human beings.
Move within, but don’t move the way
fear makes you move.”
Breathe
I am breathing in.
I am breathing out.
Repeat and repeat
again
and
again and…
I included one of my most felt paintings. She says all I just tried to convey.
Peace and blessings,
