This poem was inspired by a conversation I had recently with my friend Blair. A conversation like a dance, following the songs in our hearts, releasing the energy held inside our being. Together we felt the circle of life, as the moment breathed into us. We allowed ourselves to drown in the delicious wetness of light that shined upon us.
Life Breathes
By Vicki L. Flaherty
In. Out.
No moment the same as the one before.
In. Out.
Or the same as any that will come.
In. Out.
Each moment its own unique and precious space.
In. Out.
Without effort, it happens.
In. Out.
It moves on.
In. Out.
It circles, contracting and expanding.
In. Out.
Filling up and releasing.
In. Out.
We move unconsciously with it, not even noticing the beauty of it.
In. Out.
We can pay careful attention to the miracle of it.

This Abundantly Delicious Life 
Beautiful!
Amen!
🙂
Wow. So beatiful, Vicki!
And yet another amazing sign of how we are all in sync…today before reading your poem I was on a beach (that looks very much like your picture) meditating:
Just this moment.
Just this breath.
In just this body.
In this precious life.
Just this…is all there is.
Just this moment…what a sweet little poem you’ve added, Jana! I know you are breathing in all that the sea has to offer…
So beautiful VIcki. Our breath connects us to the dance of life.
Yes, Karen, it does…and it’s so accessible…what a gift.
