Along the journey towards the greater, there are many small, daily steps to better understand oneself, God, and others. This is one of my “daily steps”.
Breathe in, breathe out, repeat.⠀

Some time when I was not looking this kid learned how to blow up a balloon.⠀
⠀
Kind of.⠀
⠀
He still doesn’t quite have the understanding to not suck back in some of the air from the balloon with each breath. ⠀
⠀
But as I watched him blow up this balloon and then let the air hiss out and then do it all over again… it was kind of beautiful in its rhythm. ⠀
⠀
Breathe in. Breathe out. Repeat.⠀
⠀
It’s a hectic time of year and it is #Wednesday – only half way through the #workweek. So, today, perhaps we all need a little breathe in, breathe out, repeat along with these protective words of #StPatrick…⠀
⠀
“Christ with me, Christ before me, ⠀
Christ behind me,⠀
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, ⠀
Christ above me,⠀
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,⠀
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,⠀
Christ in the heart of every man ⠀
who thinks of me,⠀
Christ in the mouth of everyone ⠀
who speaks of me,⠀
Christ in every eye that sees me,⠀
Christ in every ear that hears me.”⠀
⠀
Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. ⠀
⠀
May you feel God moving inside you as you breathe through today.⠀
