Breathing in the Entire Sky

Brilliant, Joy, I am so grateful to you and your wondrous poems!

Joy Schultz

breathing in the entire sky
breath
this breath
provided
i am sustained by something
i can never do,
make air,
(and yet i do
as i breathe out
the CO2...)
this breath,
that is just here,
always,
every breath
am i freely fed,
freely provided for
notice
every breath
is completely
free
you are supported,
life support
you and the air
are NOT separate
the entire atmosphere/you,
one organism
trees/you/air,
one organism,
life support
the idea of "alone"
is an absolute
and complete lie
One Organism,
soil, trees, air, wind, sun
sky, clouds, voice, poop,
garden, rock, bacteria, fungi...
this breath
is
the Universe
there is no place
a "me"
starts or stops
no border,
no boundary
findable
breathing in the entire sky,
breathing out the forest
just notice
