Breathing Into Life

I sit cross legged on my bed gazing out my window at the mountains 

Life coming into focus and feeling real again

I keep allowing my spirit to hold, love, and heal the pain in my heart

Learning some questions are irrelevant 

Others can be answered now 

But often, the ones we think we desire most are best answered in time 

Ambiguity is a gift from life itself 

Permission to live alive 

Uncomfortable to the mind but fertile ground for the soul and essential for insight 

Because walking through the unknown is capacity without contraction 

A growing intelligence that expands the view

So I continue to connect my head to my heart 

Allowing peace with what is

Letting the ease in my breathe guide the next step

• Breathing Into Life, Written by Amanda Crocitto

For all of us, figuring out how to be human one breath at a time.
