Simplified Meaning:

This quote talks about being a vessel or tool that enables something greater to happen. Imagine a flute. A flute can’t make music on its own; it needs someone to blow into it. The flute has holes that allow the air to flow through and create beautiful sounds. In this quote, Christ’s breath represents a divine or higher power, and the flute holes are like a person who lets this power flow through them. Therefore, the person is not important by themselves, but they become meaningful because they help create something beautiful. An example from everyday life could be a teacher. The teacher themselves is just a person, but they help students learn and grow by sharing knowledge and guidance. Without the teacher’s willingness to teach, the students wouldn’t learn as much. The beauty, or the music, in this case, is the knowledge and growth the students gain. You can apply this idea to your life by realizing that sometimes, the best thing you can do is to allow something greater than yourself to work through you. By being open and humble, you can help create something wonderful, just like the flute makes lovely music with the right breath.
