I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Breathing in I smile
Breathing in I smile,
breathing out I relax
This is a wonderful moment
(Three Breath breathing exercise from "Essential Spirituality"
by Roger Walsh
breathing
is at the center of life
there is no life
without breath
yet
we can go through a day
rushing
worrying
producing
and never once think about breathing
it is not that we don't think
we think a million thoughts
our heads are agitated and fragmented
our mind
the Buddhists say
is like a crazy monkey leaping erratically from branch to branch
thank God for breath
thank God, that when we take the time
not just to stop and take a deep breath
but think about
that breath
to celebrate its mystery
its beauty
thank we can breath in all the
mystery of the earth
and life
and find
peace
Breathing in I smile
breathing out I relax
This is a wonderful moment
