ONE KIND BREATH

by Maja Apolonia Rodé 

A message to soothe my scared and tired parts:

As you know, 

words don’t do much good, 

when what you need is a warm  

and gentle hug 

from that inner goddess 

of tender, healing   

love. 

So, instead of words, 

let me offer this:

let me invite you to hold my hand  

as we breathe 

a quiet breath together. 

Let me invite this breath  

to enter us with care  

and kindness. 

Let it be a kind breath — 

not a deep breath 

or a mindful breath — 

a whatever-it-is-to-be-kind  

breath. 

Let it be  

the kind of breath  

that brings in just the  

right amount of aliveness—  

just the right micro-dose  

of heaven. 

Let it be a deeply intelligent  

breath—  

that knows exactly 

how and where  

to reach the parts 

that are ready  

to allow 

its life-giving entry. 

And as we breathe this one breath  

together 

again and again,  

let us invite all future breaths  

to participate in 

our rhythmic remembrance Now.  

Together, 

you and I and the sky— 

let us dance our way into 

the deepest most holy 

temples of our 

humanity,

bow at the feet

of the forgotten ones,

and light the quiet candles 

of our loving.
