Breathing

A healthy lung changes as it breathes in and out. Consider this plot of corresponding inhale and exhale CT scan values in the lung. Elongation means nice deep breathing – to enjoy the smell of cut grass or the tang of the new blacktop or the smoky drift of burning leaves.

Catalysts for life

There are so many draining things we can focus on during the day: how we appear to others, how much others do or don’t respect us, how we can get people to do what we want. But once we become aware of the negative impact of these areas of focus, we can get clear on – even excited about – who we really want to be . . . We can shift our focus toward qualities like mercy, gentleness, courage, and the many others that bring true joy in our lives and in the lives of others.

Let today be …

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.  
St Theresa
