in whose nostrils is breath,
for of what account is he?
Isaiah 2:22
All that people have
is what God gives them
Rich man, proud man,
famous man, strong man...
Everybody only has
temporary claim to anything.
But fear of man
is a controlling thing
Envy others, desire them,
controlled by them, hate them...
Even though they only have
the breath God gave them.
Inhale the air
and realize that then
all men, every one,
from greatest one to smallest one
Breathes the same air
God wisely put there.
Exhale slowly
and calmly conclude then
each breath, each moment,
each heartbeat, each thought...
borrowed from God as a gift
calls us to look to Him
