The Quest for One Breath

In the Beginning Divine Inhales One Breath of Perfect Wisdom
Distilled from Every Dimension of All Experience
&
Exhales this Universe of Immortality, Beauty & Joy...

Oh Where is this One Breath which Contains All Life?
Do You have it?
Do I feel you Breathing It right Now?
Is it this Breath? ...Or is it this Breath?
It can't be both - for there is Only One Breath

Open every atom & cell of your Being,
Open every pore of your Body Temple,
Open Your Heart to the Fullness of Beauty & Compassion -
&
Breathe the One Breath which Recreates All Time & Space...
Breathe this One Breath which never ends...
Forever & ever - Simultaneous -
One inhalation of Perfect Wisdom which never ends;
One exhalation forever expanding
Immortality & Joy & Precious Life Throughout the Universe...

Both inhalation & exhalation - Total Devotion
To receiving & giving - are simultaneous, Always Faithful,
Here & Now, In this Instant, Forever & Ever...

There is only One Breath which contains All Life...
All Life Forms are contained within this One Breath...
All Life Forms have the Absolute Right To Breathe
This One Breath Together Forever & Ever...
This is Perfect Liberty... This Is Immortality...
When You breathe the One Breath, You Breathe Me -
For I am a little part of All Life -
&
I am Alive Forever within the Liberty of Your One Breath!
