Truth should be like breath Take it in and let it go Then take another How can you live a full life By holding onto one breath? |

Truth should be like breath Take it in and let it go Then take another How can you live a full life By holding onto one breath? ******************************* Life isn't meant to be lived with just one idea of what is true or not. The truth is in many things and is not limited to only one concept When we stop limiting ourselves by our concepts, then we can truly live I love how you put this Lar in your lovely poem of breath your analogy, so simple, yet, so profound A very good teaching to remember when we find ourselves holding onto our convictions How can Ultimate Reality (God, Tao, etc ..) truly be experienced in only one little concept by one narrowminded little fool? lol  |

Very nicely done! Truth, far more than breath, is a slippery subject that is very hard to write about without saying something that later (to you, maybe immediately for others) sounds stupid. You danced right through that minefield without a scratch. I tread on that ground only rarely, but here are a couple of one-liners that I still like. Beauty is the face of truth, and love is its heart. All things have many perspectives, even the truth. It's just that the truth looks the same from all sides. A poem's just a poet in a word. |

Wow. Synchronicity. *"Is Eris true?" "All things are true." "Even false things?" "Yes, even false things are true." "how can this be?" "I don't know man, I didn't do it." *Malaclypse The Elder, lunatic. A Letter of breath from a symbol of air, combined with the earth lights a fire, so unfair. As the root's in water. Good one Uriah, you sparked a memory! |

this poem reminds me of rumi (who is one of my very favorite poets) i loved this! for one giddy, careless moment, i was almost serene myself. it was a strange sensation, and it soon passed |

In breath is life and life's core holds the truth. When we consciously breathe, we consciously live ... and so we are likely to discover Truth. I love your poem, as it touches ... truth! Love, Margherita |

Ah, yes...it is like smiling on a street full of strangers...when sharing a smile it infects people and they return it...the truth can be infectious as well...I love it...*big hugs* |
