Lesson 3

Sufism 101

Lesson 3

Breath Continued – The Breath is here, now.

On the Breath, Flys Freedom

On each breath, flys freedom’s joy.
The Choice Floats on silent currents of Divine Light.
Love or fear; deeds hidden in the dark
Or deeds of light and fine report?

On each breath
Surrender
To the Guiding Light Within the Heart;
The Truth writ large
In stillness’ silence;
The Unity which gently binds Us
In Unlikely Oneness born of Love.

Jesus made the sacrifice
Just so none need bleed for feed.
Salvation’s done, Glory’s arrived,
So Dance for your Dinner;
Sing for our pride.
You’ve three days to finish
And two days are gone.
Oh, Gentle Sufi
Surrender,
To Silence.

The breath is the doorway to now and here. Be the one typing these words and breathing in and breathing out. I, reread ..., and still you are behind. Breathe your own breath and be conscious of it. This is all ... and all brand new.

There are many things to do with the breath, but they all involve the basic process of watching it, feeling it, experiencing its full effect. So take two minutes and watch/feel your breath.
