One Body. Above all. Through all. In all
“In God’s hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all humankind.” Job 12:10S
She waves.
Speaks my name
Through the clatter of drying leaves
“Come, come and know love.”
Lying next to her, surrendering my body to the ground.
Breathing out
doubt.
Breathing in
oxygen for life.
Breathing out.
She
takes my breath.
Transforming it.
Giving back to me.
Together,
Her breath to me.
Mine to her.
Completing an ageless rhythm of life.
Ruach, Divine breath.
Companioning.
Sister tree and me.
Breathprayer:
Breathing in: Holy God…
Breathing out: …uniting all.
Reflection: Describe a tree or any place in nature where you have experienced a Holy connection?
