In These Five Breaths

As I finalize this work I am trying to decide whether I “release” it or not.  Our time here is precious.  The day is filled with such nonsense yet the gift of breath and life is so real and fragile.  I have written about each breath holding a life story.  Each breath solving the mystery of choices made and whether we can forgive ourselves from our human frailty.  Is there more to our story even after the last breath.  Can we embrace our life even at its very moment of passing. I am sitting with this work and pondering its future.  Legacy.  Life. Touching the soul of another.  Courage.  Bravery.  Love.
