If prayer is pure and untainted,
surely that holy breath
that rises from your lips
will join with the breath of heaven
that is always flowing
into you from above […]
Thus that part of God which is within you
is reunited with its source.
~Arthur Green & Barry Holtz, Keter Shem Tov, as adapted in Your Word is Fire
