Embracing Air
March 15th, 2010 by info
I hear the air swirling across the mountain ridge
Gasping and gaining momentum before swallowing torrents of waterfall lining the river’s edge
She moves with the speed of a jaguar speaking to the trees as if they were her humble servants
Then inhales a collection of leaves knitted among moss within the blustery March current
Her voice pitching high notes echoes through tumbling waters
With her outstretched arms she huffs a surrendered sigh across a meadow
Her breath caresses my hair and hugs my body like a loving mother
I sense her song circling around my feet as I gaze upon a majestic outcrop
Looking out over the valley her silence moves me once more
Within our daily lives I am so moved by how air touches all that we are and all that we do. The above sensory experience spoke to me and I began to think about our collective relationship to the simple act of inhaling and exhaling. In what ways do you sense the air around you? How do you speak to it? How does the voice of air speak through you? blessings on your journey, Kathy
