Our Hininga (Breath) Teaches...

===========================================

Our breath teaches us simple facts about life:

  • Life is a rhythm of receiving and giving. We receive life as we inhale and share it with others as we exhale. As we are given, we are also invited to give so that we may be emptied and be ready to receive life anew.
  • We are channels of life and blessings. God’s breath and blessings flows through us to continually give us life and have it to the full. We cannot hold, hoard and keep to ourselves the breath of life or the gifts of persons, material possessions and talents. If we do, we impede its flow in our own lives and even go against its natural harmony, spawning suffering and discord.
