Breathe:
"Each breath of life renews and energizes me." (DW, 6.1.09)
"Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." (Gen. 2.7)
Mei Meditatio:
It is God's spirit (Heb. ruach) breathed into us and flowing through us that animates us and makes us living beings. Without God's divine spark within, we'd be nothing but "dust of the ground." Our life as humans is made possible by the presence of divine Spirit coursing through our being.
Thus, I awake to the truth that Spirit is present within my being -- it is that which makes me a living being alive with animation and agency. I awake to the truth that nothing can separate me from the God-presence of Christ and knowing this reality makes it ever more real to me. As I inhale and exhale in my breathing, I'm reminded of the Spirit flowing in me and through me, rejuvinating and renewing my being and thus my relationships. I'm born again in and through Christ who reveals and unites me to my spiritual heritage as a child of the living God.
In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Amen.
