One breath at a time

Hey there, my dear in-breath, I feel you.

Thank you for showing up in this moment.

I’m enjoying the vitality that you bring to my body and mind.

I feel you and, naturally, I smile.

Hey there, my dear out-breath, I feel you too!

It feels good to let you go.

You remind me that I don’t have to hang on.

I can relax and trust that the next breath will come

…until it doesn’t…

and I can trust that too!

You’ve been a good friend to me,

my constant companion for the whole of my life.

I like this arrangement we have going.

Let’s keep it up, one breath at a time.

Deal?

Deal.
