Freedom

Freedom is never dear at any price.
It is the breath of life.
What would a man not pay for living?

~Mohandas Gandhi

The breath

"The breath of the flute player:
does it belong to the flute?"

– Rumi

In the beginning

In the beginning God was nothing, So he started making stuff, he made the dirt, he made the sky, he made the water, he made things that swim, things that slither, things with legs, I mean God turned himself into a Big Shot, then a couple days, or a couple million years, God breathes life into Man, and hes been sucking the life out of us every since.

~Augustus Hill, OZ

Communication

Communication is to a relationship
what breathing is to living.

~Virginia Satir

Tell me

Tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

~Kabir

Success:

Success: To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

One does not simply walk into Mordor

One does not simply walk into Mordor. It's black gates are guarded by more than just orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

~Boromir, The Lord of the Rings

Keep breathing.

Keep breathing. That's the key. Breathe.

~Gimli, The Lord of the Rings

The Great Spirit

The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us....

~Big Thunder (Bedagi) Wabanaki Algonquin

Outside

Outside the open window
The morning air is all awash with angels.

~Richard Wilbur

'Tis now the very

'Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

~William Shakespeare

The morning wind

The morning wind spreads its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that lets us live. Breathe before it's gone.

~Rumi

Love is

Love is always Loving you. Without this Love you cannot breathe, as without air you cannot live. Love is meditation, meditation is Love. Heart has no frontiers; meditate on This. You are this Love. You are That. Simply be Quiet and stay as such. Thank you. I love you.

~Sri H. W. L. Poonja

Tell me

Tell me what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.

~Kabir

Whenever

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Don't let your throat

Don't let your throat tighten with fear. Take sips of breath all day and night, before death closes your mouth.

~Rumi
