Fickle

December 1st. The calendar was pretty easy on me today. I had to get a bit creative when it came to fertilizing the greenhouse, but I was so thankful to get back into yoga. I had all intentions of going to the yoga class offered at Jacob's Well but family obligations trumped. Instead I found a show online which offered me the freedom of completing the poses in the privacy of my own home. In the introductions the instructor spoke about the breath and how it is the connection of the spirit and the mind. I once heard someone explain that the Hebrew word for God is pronounced as if you were breathing, that at the very core of who we are, our breath, we are naming our creator. Since then I have been drawn to breath and breathing analogies. One such analogy was in the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Many charts and graphs were used to show just how screwed we all are. It made me want to never have children and to start praying for those poor polar bears stranded in the cold water looking for an ice chunk to float on. Besides the polar bears I do remember one chart showing the Earth's release of Carbon Dioxide and Al describing that even the Earth breathes. To me there is comfort knowing that in the end no matter who we are, how terrible we have allowed ourselves to become we still say God's name. Even the Earth says God's name.
