Come shelter in my arms my dear. I will assist you through your fear.
Though I may not defeat your worry, you and I can breathe.
Together we shall face the world, whatever terrors may unfold.
Though poisoned skies may cloud your journey, still, with you,
I’ll breathe.

Breathe, and know the wind will roar.
Do not fear the air. Take it all in deep.
Feel the breath we share.

All that hath life and breath praise ye the Lord,
Shout to the Lord, alleluia!
Praise the Lord with joyful song,
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving, alleluia, praise Him!
Praise the Lord with joyful song, alleluia!
All that hath life and breath, praise ye the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new-made song, praise His name, alleluia.

Unto thee O Lord have I made supplication,
and cried unto the Rock of my salvation;
but Thou hast heard my voice and renewed my weary spirit.

Praise to the Lord the almighty the King of creation.
O my soul praise Him for He is thy health and salvation.
Praise Him, Laud Him, alleluia!

What happened?
What is happening (to us)
Can you breathe?
Please, help me!
I can’t…
“I can’t breathe”
Can you breathe?
Can we breathe again?
We are holding on
We are holding our breath

With this one breath
I pray
With this one breath
I hope
With this one breath
I let go
With this one breath
I stay
With this one breath
I say I love You
With this one breath
I say goodbye

With this one breath
We Breathe.

Om tare tuttare ture soha…
I prostrate myself to the Green Tara (the liberator, mother of all Victorious Ones)

Supposing we are allowed X numbers of breaths in this lifetime,
And only X.
Think how slowly we would take an “in” breath,
And how leisurely we would let it out
In order to extend our days.

Om tare tuttare ture soha…

One breath could take in the morning sun,
And eggs on the table
And we wouldn’t let it go until the shadows lengthened
And we turned back the bedcovers.
Ah, if we could breathe like that
Life might go on forever.

Om tare tuttare ture soha…

Omnis spiritus laudet Dominum
Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord
Praise Him with the clash of cymbals

Libera me Domine de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda
Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that fateful day
Quando caeli movendi sunt et terra,
When heaven and earth shall be moved
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
When you will come to judge the world by fire
Tremens factus sum ego et timeo,
I am made to tremble and fear
Dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira.
Until the judgement and coming wrath shall be upon us.
Dies irae, dies illa, calamitatis et miseriae
On that day, day of wrath, calamity, and misery,
Dies magna et amara valde.
Great day of exceeding bitterness,
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
And perpetual light shine upon them

Let the life I’ve lived speak for me
When I come to the end of the road,
and I lay down my heavy load,
let the life I’ve lived speak for me.
Let the friends I’ve made,
let them speak for me.

Lay down your burden,
and rest with the setting sun.
All the beauty of your life
will shine when your day is done.

Let the love I’ve shared speak for me.
Let the love that I’ve tried to share,
and the burdens I’ve struggled to bear,
all this life of joy and care speak for me.

I was pulled down a mountain road to the canyon walls that are calling,
I was pulled down a mountain road, and I got my heart set on climbing,
The wind brings wealth and the ground is gold and the water’s made out of diamond,
While the wind brings wealth and the ground is gold there was no one else there to find me.

One old map and the folklore told of the only way up the mountain,
There was one old map and the folklore told and my own two legs there to guide me,
The trail grew wild under bush and tree; ev’ry rock looked just like the other,
Oh, the trail grew wild under bush and tree like an outlaw running for cover.

Never dreaded the golden hour like I did that day on the mountain,
There I dreaded the golden hour, for it meant cold night was a-coming,
I held my breath, swallowed up my pride, and I called whoever would listen,
Yes, I held my breath, swallowed up my pride, before I became someone missing.

Lifted up by a miracle like an eagle knew how to save me,
I was lifted up by a miracle and I cried my way back to safety.
How can beauty hold both the warm and cold, both the hurt along with the hoping?
Honey, I’ve known lost and then I’ve known found and I knew them both on the mountain,
I’ve known lost and then I’ve known found.

Honey I’ve known lost and then I’ve known found
and I knew them both on the mountain.

O earth, loving mother,
Nurture us, breathe in us
Something of your beauty,
Your wisdom and your light.

Your ancient mountains, gleaming seas
Fill our hearts with care;
Through blazing sun and darkest night,
Breathe in us, breathe in us.

O earth, who was long before our time
And after many remains.
Careless and blind we wander from you.
Breathe in us, breathe in us.

O earth, O loving mother,
Breathe in us, breathe in us.
Something of your wisdom, of your beauty,
Of your wisdom and your light.

Espiritu de Dios, llena mi vida, llena mi alma, llena mi see
Spirit of God, fill my life, fill my soul, fill my very being
Y llena me, con tu presencia, con tu poder, con tu amor.
And fill me with your presence, with your power, with your love
