-- Breath of the Spirit --

John Herlihy

 

Existence is Eternal Spirit

The Eternal Spirit breathes.

The breath of the Eternal Spirit

Becomes the spirit of the breath.

The breath of the spirit

Becomes the spirit of the wind.

The breath of the wind

Becomes the wind of breath.

 

The wind of breath

Becomes the breath of the soul.

The breath of the soul

Becomes the breath of life.

The breath of life

Becomes the breath of the body.

The breath of the body

Becomes the breath of the heart.

 

The breath of the heart

Becomes the breath of the lungs.

The breath of the lungs

Becomes of the breath of the breast.

The breath of the breast

Becomes the expansion of the body.

The expansion of the body

Becomes the expansion of the heart.

 

The expansion of the heart

Becomes the expansion of the soul.

The expansion of the soul

Becomes the expansion of the spirit.

The expansion of the spirit

Reunites with the Eternal Spirit.

The eternal Spirit

Re-activates the breath of existence.

An interesting structure with a bit of stretching science to reach the ultimate objective. Reminds me of that anatomy song… "Da leg bone connected to de knee bone, da knee bone connected to…"

I liken our brain to a light burning brightly from hence come all of our thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. Richly different for every individual based on experience gathered from the senses. The brain is certainly fed oxygen from blood that is enriched with oxygen in the lungs and transported to the brain by the heart. When the heart stops pumping or the lungs fail to pass oxygen to the blood, the lightbulb in the brain goes out leaving nothing behind but brain tissue.

For many of us, even those of us with very personal beliefs will find it virtually impossible to cast the idea of spirit aside. Your pyramidal stacking of concept, top downward, ends with the vast amalgamation of connecting concepts that are indeed... existence in all its wonder. Fine work.
