“I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through - listen to this music.” -Hafiz

I read these beautiful words from Hafiz last week and since then these words have provided the mind with nothing but contemplation. Just the words alone resonated within my Being and captured my imagination. I find myself pondering and consumed by my thoughts about this very quote. It surely was not the intention to draw me back into the ego and a clouded mind - but I find myself just constantly inundated by thoughts.

 

Painstakingly, the need to write down feelings, thoughts, rants, raves, or plain words drives the insanity of this busy mind. The need to write is an outlet and freedom from enslaving thoughts. So here I am.

 

Lately, my journey to find myself has almost come full circle. Reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle has definitely changed who I am. I am calmer if you can believe that. I have had others tell me so as well.

 

There must be a need to pen on paper that offers insight to me. When I read the words, I can imagine a flute and Christ’s spirit moving through each hole – producing beautiful, calming, and moving music. Each note played results from the marriage of our very being and Christ. While not just Christ in the physical sense of form but the very spirit for which He is – God.

 

In the beginning when God created man, he gave life to “man” by breathing into his nostrils.

 

GEN 2:7 the LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.

 

Each one of us was given life through the Breath of Life.  Each Being born is given life through this same breath. Without our breath, we cannot live. Our body (form) dies when we cannot breathe. Without your first breath, you cannot live. Have you ever pondered how important it is to breathe? This very thought brings me back to the moment my daughter was born. At that very moment of being born into this world, she did not cry and my heart sunk. My next moment was waiting for her to take that first breath and than I heard it. Tears of joy streamed down my face because God had given her the Breath of Life. Nevertheless, at that time – I did not have any concept of what and how life was gifted.

 

Christ – the human form of God – lived to show us how to live. I truly believe this and I believe that God continues to show himself to us today – but constantly miss him. It’s very easy to get lost in the “beware of the wolf in sheep clothing” stigma.  Think about the last time you used this very same quote – truly trust in these words will help you miss God.

 

I trust that the answers lie within me and this embarks me on a journey of trust. I am the very spirit that God breathed into me and Christ became that spirit to show me how to accept suffering and how to live. To recognize my being and learning to be still, I can listen more closely to very breath that lives within me.
