I walked outside this evening. into complete darkness. with the rushing sound of the wind. and that was a instant, vivid and tangible feeling of our own breath. the breath of our life that keeps us going. the breath that helps others during CPR. the breath that helps up obtain oxygen. i took chemistry and for a moment knew the percentages. and i believe we exhale largely nitrogen. but far greater than the science breath in other cultures describes who we are.
for maori, it is the ha, and it must be exchanged by the touching of noses so that one is not a stranger any longer. you are then one. we have an emotionsl connection to air at the point it becomes spiritually and emotionally connected to our lives. no longer is it merely nitrogen and oxygen but life. love. feeling. joy.
but the breeze is beautiful. it is a constant. a constant soothing motion much like waves. there is a musical rhythm that we cannot deny. one that we have from thetime we are in mothers womb ingrained in us to seek.
it eases your mind. it makes a blank page. and supports your life.
