Too often we strike without knowing,
too often we speak without thought.
Lo,
perhaps what is needed is a breath,
a pause to identify what is truly important.
Is it this petty hate?
or that petty need?
Indeed not,
for there is meaning and importance greater than all of us
that must be considered above all.
For whence hatred spawns,
there can be no peace.
For whence hatred spawns,
there can be no joy.
For whence hatred spawns,
there can be no humanity.
In silence sit together,
let us take a moment to pause,
and together,
take a breath.

Man, thanks Aaron. I truly needed a breath! It's sometimes hard to remember to do that when things get so chaotic that your heart stops.
A simple breath is sometimes all you need to bring you back down to the ground with a proper perspective.
...and a second breath might provide you with enough oxygen to share that perspective with us! Nice to hear from you!
