Believing In What Breathes She believes in others more for them to see that belief lift their spirits and she breathes… She believes in the child and helps wipe away, the “can’t, don’t, no” of their existence and she breathes… She believes in the forces of nature, the good and bad of the wind and sun, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes sweeping through her days… and she breathes… She believes in things she can’t see and things that she can and she breathes… She believes in the aged, that they have mostly lead good lives, those who still have a lesson to teach, so she listens, and she breathes… She believes in what she hears and doesn’t hear, reads between lines, separating chaff from wheat and she breathes… She believes in the you of you, true of you, she holds tight to your dreams when you lose them, so they may be returned, unharmed, still safe… and she breathes… She believes in smiles, that in passing them around, others will smile, and it will pass on, for in that gesture, the flutter of a butterfly’s wing will create a breeze felt miles away… and she breathes… She believes in the young and middle aged, those who wage truth, who fight the good fight, lose graciously, strive to attend the next battle, moving forward to live, from day to day, and she breathes… She believes in one true love, one that is given for the act of giving, that her own love will be accepted for the sake of the gift, one love, that will either be here… or there… and she breathes… She believes in one man who believes in her ~ because ~ and ~ always ~ and she breathes… She believes in breathing and in breathing believes she will live to gasp, and grasp again, one more day… and she breathes… 01.17.01 revised 01.10.02 and slightly revised, one more time 3.27.04 |

Wonderful Karilea...absolutely. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Sunshine, I really like this one. I especially like the change you ring on the chaos butterfly, making it a positive thing. There is a warmth to this that makes it well worth reading. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
