“With Every Breath We Are Ablaze”
Photograph by John Diamond, M.D.
I love the SP root. It gave rise to so many words, most of them with a common, central meaning. Consider a few: spurt, sprinkle, spark, sperm, sputum, spit. All with the idea of something vital being projected from a live source to a destination which it may vitalize: the spark igniting the kindling.
And think of spirit: from God to ignite the bush, now ablaze.
And respiration: taking in the Great Spirit as Heaven’s Breath, and It feeding, fueling, the Inner Peace within us.
With every breath we are Ablaze.
