Just Breathe

colloquiallyspeaking Musings September 14, 2011 1 Minute

Life is….a breath.

Inhale….exhale….

…nose…mouth…life.

Air coursing through veins…beating heart…pumping blood…steady pulse…life.

Death is…no air.

Inhale…exhale…stop.

And I…cannot close my eyes…for all I see…is the moment…of no air.

have you ever read Yehuda Amichai? I have a feeling that you’d like his stuff.

Is there a reason you’ve posted this now? Or is this just an old piece that you just found?

  I wrote this because I witnessed a death last week and have been having insomnia because of it…all my posts are written immediately before they are posted. I tend to write about current feelings, unless it’s a current situation that is bringing up old feelings.

B”DE. That’s terrible. May you have the strength to get past this, and may HKB”H give you the amazing power of Shikcha.
