our world
our planet
expresses a depth of beauty
that stirs my life
deeply and to the surface
inspires my breath to meet the respiration of life
with vitality
with presence
with appreciation
to inhale the air that rises from these bubbles
to know I breath air stirred by glacial melt
is a gift enormous
air is something we all share
earth and stones the clay our bodies rise from
rocks our brothers and sisters
care something to be on the surface of our flesh
for to care for our family is essential
