Poetry

Give All to Love

Give all to love;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days,
Estate, good-fame,
Plans, credit and the Muse,
Nothing refuse.

'Tis a brave master;
Let it have scope:
Follow it utterly,
Hope beyond hope:
High and more high
It dives into noon,
With wing unspent,
Untold intent;
But it is a god,
Knows its own path
And the outlets of the sky.

It was never for the mean;
It requireth courage stout.
Souls above doubt,
Valor unbending,
It will reward,
They shall return
More than they were,
And ever ascending.

Leave all for love;
Yet, hear me, yet,
One word more thy heart behoved,
One pulse more of firm endeavor,
Keep thee to-day,
To-morrow, forever,
Free as an Arab
Of thy beloved.

Cling with life to the maid;
But when the surprise,
First vague shadow of surmise
Flits across her bosom young,
Of a joy apart from thee,
Free be she, fancy-free;
Nor thou detain her vesture's hem,
Nor the palest rose she flung
From her summer diadem.

Though thou loved her as thyself,
As a self of purer clay,
Though her parting dims the day,
Stealing grace from all alive;
Heartily know,
When half-gods go,
The gods arrive.

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bellows Breath

Sit down with spine straight.

1) Imagine you are blowing a piece of dust out of your nose, sharply pulling in on your abdominal muscles and at the same time blowing air out of the nose.

2) Relax, inhale naturally to fill the lungs again.

3) Once again sharply blow air out of the nose by pulling in on the abdomen.

4) Continue a couple more times, so your abdomen in operating like a bellows.

Summertime
and the livin' is easy
fish are jumpin
and the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich
and your ma is good lookin'
so hush little baby
don't you cry

One of these mornin's
you're gonna rise up singin'
yes you spread your wings
and you take to the skys
but till' that mornin'
theres nothin' that can harm you
yes your daddy and mammy
stand and wave you goodbye

summertime
and the livin' is easy
fish are jumpin'
and the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich
and you ma is good lookin'
so hush little baby
baby don't you cry
don't you cry
