The Spirit of Creation lives and thrives within all of us.  It is the part of us that finds hope in the most desolate and remote experiences.  It is the one extra breath we manage to find amidst the suffocation of life.   It is the joy that catches us laughing as things are falling apart.  This gladness is the evidence of life continuing to create even as things are dying.  It is hard to imagine when we are face down in a time or season of darkness that light will ever come again. It is always darkest before the dawn.  Yet gladness is the energy of expectancy that maybe because it happened yesterday, it will happen again.  It is the trust after each exhale will come another inhale and again and again.  I heard it once said that the reason breath work is so powerful is not because of the number of breaths in or out or the amount of time in between but because of the concentrated attention and decision that one will come after the other.  Our mind relaxes at the promise of the next breath in or out.  There is a sanctity and a gladness found for the mind in the space between.  The gladness of our hearts allows us to be in the in between spaces and not get lost entirely.  It is a trust in the ebb and flow between the b and the f.  Gladness is where our heart fills in the blanks of our minds willing us to hold out just long enough to let love win again and again.
