Just Breathe

Science class suggests that we humans take between 8-15 breaths per minute. According to my D- math skills, that’s a breathing rate of at least around 7 opportunities every 60 seconds for us to clean the slate and start all over.
When I focus on the miracle of breathing it becomes a river baptism that I get to be dunked in over and over.
I’m not being kind right now
(breathe and be reborn in mercy)
I just made a mistake
(breathe and be washed clean)
I’m still not living my purpose
(breathe and create a new life)
I’m so afraid
(breathe and listen to angels sing in your lungs)
Yes, I breathe to live but I also live to breathe. It is my favorite passion project. It is my theology. It is my life coach.
Breathing is the miracle that refreshes the browser of my heart over and over
