The world goes on
just fine
even if we pause
step out of the pace
of doing
linger
in the breath
that is inhaled
linger in
the space between
immerse oneself in the exhale
feel
the luscious life
in each and every cell
be intimate for a moment
with breathing
carry this presence into the world
~
I have stepped out of my Montana world into S. California for a visit.
The air is cool, the skies a gray veil with a ghost of blue peaking through, flowers abound, green hillsides slowly turn golden. Spring here heads towards it's end, as spring back home (Montana) just begins. Flying yesterday inspired being with my breath, it truly can be an intimate experience.
