In the moments of inner turmoil the hardest battle become that of our own minds.  God encourages us to reach out so we do not have to carry the burden of our angst alone.  Yet when we are faced with the churning and uncomfortable elements of ourselves and our reaction to life the last we think is that someone else would want anything to do with us. We push people away and we try to muddle through closing off our hearts.  God senses the division we have with our sense of who we truly are at our core and waits patiently for our return to reality.  A reality that holds the presence of our love and innocence as our true selves and nothing else.  It is a battle of the mind and the heart and all the heart wants is to extend a hand of warmth.  Yet our tightened breath makes it harder for the blood to reach our brain.  So God gently does anything possible to draw us to our hearts and take a deep breath.  The inspiration of the breath gives us a wiggle space to release the angst just enough to be open to another possibility.  God reminds us that even our angst can be used to bring us back to the space of our breath which connects us to our heart giving it more strength to reach our mind.
