The Lesson of Breath

 As I have been writing and developing new meditations I cannot help but notice that the breath, simply the act of breathing in and breathing out, gives us a very valuable demonstration about life.  Without thought, without fear of lack our breath knows exactly what we need to take from the world around us and exactly what we need to let go of and release.  We cannot hold onto the breath and we cannot fail to let go of and release the breath. 

If we ponder upon the lesson this teaches us about life we can begin to trust that what we truly need is available for us without fear.  We can notice that we only need to take what we need and can use.  And, we can understand that only by releasing and letting go are we able to receive.  All of these little understandings are a part of the gift of each breath if we take the time to notice.
