-- Life, Breath, Spirit --

by John Herlihy

 

Life – we think we know

Breath – we do know

Spirit – we know not

 

What is life

But the breath

Of the spirit

 

What is breath

But the life

Of the spirit

 

What is spirit

But the life

Of the breath

 

Breathe in

The life

Of the Spirit

 

Then you will know.

The breath of the Creator. Such a marvelous reality. We live and breathe and have our being because the Creator wills it. “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7. Enjoyed your thoughts. Thanks. r

Well written. I don't have any problem knowing where my spirit is. As long as I breathe adding oxygen to the iron in my blood and it is pumped to my brain, my brain will be operating continually regardless of what I'm engaging in.

My spirit is purely in my brain and my brain is capable of creating everything that I am. My spirit will be gone when blood no longer flows to my brain.

Ron
