Meditation

Breathe in, accepting life, My gift. 

Breathe out; give back your life to Me.

Give Me some juice or what's the use

of anything!

Let freedom ring!

Out-breath is model for all death,

renunciation's exercise.

Or, figure-ground,

the image changes: 

Breathe in

to explore the depths, the shadow.

Lose yourselves in sensation,

underworld

where lungs shudder cavernous

opening

to labyrinthine bowels

of sacred darkness,

inner life.

Do this to gain the strength

to breathe out once again,

to offer your courage

as a gift to the All.

Listen to My voice: Go back!

Search for the answer within!

Offer Me

the fruits of your searching,

Self, breathed out selfless

into My Void, again, again,

until at last, I accept your gift. 

You will become breath only,

spirit,

one with My creative

Spiral Wind.
