“This world, it breathes you in … it knows you, and then it breathes you out again, shares you.”

“When we feel overwhelmed by all the suffering in the world, or just drained by the stress of the day, do this. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and know that the very breath you are taking is the same miracle of life that pervades all creation. He who gives you this breath, despite your anxieties, fears and pain, knows you. He knows you better than you will ever understand yourself. Breathe in, breathe out. You are experiencing the miracle. The most amazing miracle of all. The gift of life. All things will find harmony in this knowing, in this, is the whisper of not only all creation, but of the Creator.”

“God, to breathe. Air. You don’t know what it means until you cannot take a breath”

“I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me.”

“Sometimes I breathe you in and I know you know.”

“What you breathe in this world may shape you.”

“are you breathing, are you lucky enough
to be breathing”

“Are you running out of breath? Go faster!”

““I am a beggar.”
“You are a travesty,” said Titus, “and when you die the earth will breathe again.””

“Love is like breathing. You take it in and let it out.”
