Meditation of Air

I am the breeze that brushes over a brook to soothe the bright heat of day. I am the wind that takes the waves of the ocean and wash them over the sand. I am the tornado that twists and turns clouds into a tower of torrent.

We are the barrier between Fire and Water. We are a wheel moving in changing directions. We are the balancing scales of justice.

Though food requires Earth, Water, and Fire, your breath requires Air alone. We are the sustenance by which you function, but never hold for more than a moment. Without us all life would cease to exist.

It is we who hold the heavens above the earth and the stars in their places. Though fire burn and life exchange us, we can never be destroyed.

We are above the earth and below it, inside and outside, within your body and your soul. We are not only that which makes life, but we are life itself.

We are everywhere. Through the realms of the moon, sun, and star, we sing the music of the spheres.
