When we live from God's breath (Henri Nouwen)

   When we live from God’s breath we recognize with joy that the same breath that keeps us alive is also the source of life for our brothers and sisters.  This realization makes our fear of the other disappear, our weapons fall away, and brings a smile to our lips.  
When we recognize the breath of God in others, 
we can let them enter our lives 
and receive the gifts they offer. 

--Henri Nouwen, With Open Hands
