breathe

by Minx Boren
breathe in
expand and receive life
breathe out
let that which no longer serves you
fall away
breathe in
allow Divine grace to enter your heart
breathe out
usher out all that would sully your holy space
breathe in
be inspired by miracles all around you
breathe out
gently exhale mundane concerns
breathe in
invite the gift of life's creative force into each cell
breathe out
release spent energy in exchange for the refreshing newness and possibility of this moment
breathe out
fears, fatigue, frustrations that would weigh you down
breathe in
and let life fill you with joy breathe out offer the precious gift of your SELF to the world
