Origins

A very long time ago, people found themselves in their breath.

and it brought life.

All of who we are begins with our breath.

We inhale as we live, our blood runs through our toes and brings us to our feet. We stomp the earth. We bring chaos and peace all within a stride. Sound finds its way past our lips and with our breath we form nations. Emotion exists beneath every utterance until we seek to escape our words. There are those who store their hopes within, because we find more behind closed eyelids than we ever will when they’re open. We find ways to intake the world with our breath and forget to release it with the next exhale.

Here we stand. Holding the earth, dust and dirt. Searching and reaching for a way out of ourselves so we no longer have to share our insides. Experience what you hold. Feel what you have let in. All of the world sits in the center of you.

We are not meant to hold the Universe. We are one as much as each wave makes up the ocean, we are meant to exhale.

Because it has been too long since you have released that which sits in your lungs. Too long since you have reached to the depths of your stomach and let go of what you found there.

Discover yourself within your breath. Sing, because you are found in the places you had forgotten.

At our core, we are the very expansion of our lungs.

A very long time from now, people will find themselves in their breath.
