Breath of Love

Your eyes are
always draw to this –
when you see a
balloon floating,
defying gravity –
a symbol of lightness,
swaying in the air.

But how does a
balloon take flight?
Does it not begin
with the denseness
of matter –
a shapeless form
that requires an
amount of air
to fill it up –
stretching the plastic,
until the air
is greater than
its borders –
is there not now
a lightness
to the balloon
as it floats
through the air?

But does it not
take another gas,
even lighter than air,
for balloon to truly
defy gravity –
to be able to rise above,
to be a lighter form
than the mass
where it began?

Can you not relate
to the different stages
of the balloon –
are there not times
when the heaviness
of matter –
the weight of
being human,
bears down upon you –
making it hard
to lift yourself up?

What can you breathe in,
what can fill you up,
stretching your borders,
creating space
so that you can
breathe more freely –
do you feel it beginning –
this Breath of Love?

And as you fill up
with the Breath of Love –
is there not a balance
of breath and matter –
are you not able
to move
throughout your day
with a greater lightness
of be-ing?

And what if you wish
to rise even higher –
as you are not
only matter,
but also a soul –
do you not realize
You Are a Being of Light?
As you breathe in
the Truth
of Who You Are –
are you not One with
the Breath of Love –
of All That Is?

Does not Divine Love
lift you up
to your natural state
of Be-ing?

Let the Breath of Love
breathe Life into You.
Stretch your borders
with the
Love That You Are.
Fill your spaces
with the
Love of All That Is.

Rise,
with Love,
Rise.
