WIND / BREATH
Wind is a breath
circulating on the earth
touching every entity on the earth.
I live in the breath of the earth.
Inhale.
I sense
it circling every cell of my body.
Like a sea breeze, it purifies my body
for every new moment of life.
Exhale.
I feel
warm energy rising deep in my body.
Like a volcano, it heats every cell of my body
for every new moment of life.
My breath goes back to a wind,
a breath of the earth,
that circulates on the earth.

are invisible tiny points,
but

wholenesses.
And

an invisible endless enormous
harmony.
It is invisible,
but sensible.
The universe.

Quis dues, incertum est, habitut deus
“A god lives here, though what god is unknown”.
-Virsil, Aeneid 8 351-2
The Sun shines upon all alike,
and makes a life live on Mother Earth.
We see various forms of life every single day.
They are too numerous to count, however, occasionally a special moment of meeting suddenly comes.
For instance, when I find a tiny weed rooted in a little soil on the edge of a paved road
or between stone walls,
when I see a sprout growing from a decaying trunk,
or when I am surrounded by myriad lives in the woods,
I am deeply impressed by something.
I feel an enigma running in my body and directly touching some of the same things
laid deep within myself.
I quest for what it is.
However, I feel a strangeness when searching for a word to represent it.
It must go far beyond a word.
So I collect its tiny pieces little by little.
I trap figures of lives and natural light on a thin sheet in a dark box, and bring them home.
Subsequently, I prepare to let them reappear on a piece of handmade paper
with the help of eggs, minerals, sunlight and water.
Look up, and we always see such beauty as a cloud, a sunset and the endless sky.
Every irreplaceable moment that nature shows us under it embraces a continuous harmony of lives in an excessive amount of time on the Earth.
I stop thinking just feel and adore a being behind it.
