Standing on the Shore:
Preludes to a Philosophy of Whales
Birdsong above, whalesong below —
in the middle, a heavy gentleness: the meeting
of an ocean of air and a skyful of seawater.
Standing on the shore, let us listen
for the wisdom, the power, the music of whales,
like the Earth, large and round
and surrounded by birds.
A book of meditative words to inspire awe and wonder for the universe — and our place in it.
In a Breath:
A Breathing of Philosophy
All day, every day, from the moment you are born
until the moment you die, you are breathing.
We take, on average, 16 breaths every minute
and more than 672,000,000 in a lifetime.
Yet, in all that time, have we taken even
one single moment to consider breathing
in its own right?
What would we learn about ourselves,
about each other, about life itself
if we were to carefully slow down
and breathe more deeply?
Right here, right now, wherever you are,
take one gentle, deep breath, and ask yourself:
what’s in a breath?
A book of meditative words to inspire awe and wonder for the universe — and our place in it.
