The particulars of subject matter have left me on the eve before when I agreed with myself to post, so, I’m wingin’ it!

To breathe is to take in life. The oxygen from the air flows into the lungs where it is taken by the heart and into the blood, where it is transmuted into, and for, the rest of the body.

And immediately I’m reminded simultaneously about the forthcoming Valentine’s day, and last week’s posting about water. I’ll put martyrdom in the face of love aside for next week. As for this week, immediately an interesting comparison exists between these two “fundamental elements.” Both are givers of life. Both teach about life. And so, from first noticing what seems most fundamental to sustain me, and reflecting briefly upon the prior week, a topic is born!

Air may carry varied substances in it, but it is the essential element in all things biologically living. All living creatures need some form or variation on “air” to exist. To breathe is to live.

In Indian theology, Brahma breathes all of creation into existence. In Judaism God breathes into Adam to give him not only life, but a kinship to divinity. In Christianity in the beginning was the word, which presumably is the intentional exhalation of God. To breathe is to live.

And, again, the most fundamental subtle transmutations of matter revolve around breath. To speak, is to breathe, is to create.

I suppose a redefining of God could be “that upon which we must take in to live.” In which case, light begins to be the obvious energy of which we living beings regularly transmute. And, in light of the above mentioned, forthcoming, Valentine’s day, Love a subtler energy still; one which is perhaps the necessity of consciousness.

And next week I’ll pick up from there. In the mean time, thank you for baring with a little improvised rambling for the sake of writing something pertinent this week, and, here is some music:
