Be Still, and Bring Your Attention to Your Breath

 

And so we find ourselves obeying a watch:

Be still, and bring your attention to your breath

We do, and watch an aquamarine lotus

Glowing and growing and pulsing before our eyes

 

Now inhale

 

And ponder the mysteries of respirations

Breathe in the air that was always here

From Creation until now and beyond

A mystic stream through all living things

 

And exhale

 

Giving back to all that which was given

Knowing that it will be enriched and returned
