“We live and breathe words.”

“Thoughts that we breathe and words that burn…”

“The words of the bards come down the centuries to us, warm with living breath.”

“God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action.”

“And of course the word love has many shades of meaning, as do many, many of the words in our living, breathing language”

“You will open the door to this mystery with the word breath. We will select the word mystery instead of the word eternity because they are all mysterious and always we must breathe this warm and mysterious. The warm and sober breath, the solemn and knowing breath; the lasting breath of satisfaction we have earned in earning our last, so the trickle of moisture that provides mountains with valleys and those with streambeds. I have been told to help you breathe and who am I to point out your previous mastery? There is so little that I can do while we wait to begin this life.”
