BREATH BY SHARED BREATH
To the One Feeling Shame

by Maja Apolonia Rodé 

This is a message from Unmanifest Spirit

to the one feeling shame:

There may be something to say,

but first, let us 

just

be 

together.

Before you leave.

Before you let anything convince you

that you shouldn’t exist

at all. 

You

are welcome here. 

You are wanted here. 

You are needed

here. 

But these words

will not reach their destination 

until every little bit of me

becomes

every

little

bit

of you. 

For that to happen,

we let go of holding it together

and melt into the warm

All-Being ocean

that we

choicelessly

and simply

and always

already

are. 

May our shared breath-being

become like waves

washing in 

and out,

making smooth the sandy beaches

of our presence

together

now. 

Breath by shared breath,

let us make this world

real through our

becoming

one.

Breath by shared breath,

let us conceive and create

the sacred substances

that are born from the

finally-unfiltered

seeing

of each other. 

Breath by shared breath,

let us breathe Life itself

into this one holy

moment. 

Is this too many words

and not enough real breathing?

Breath by shared breath,

let us shed the dry and

withering skins

of trying

and slither into the tender grasses

of our new and vibrant

aliveness.
