Exhale
The power of the out-breath.
The power of an out breath.
There is a wound spring in my chest that I only feel when I breathe out and it is released.
❖
I have been breathing all along; why do I not notice until I try?
The power of attention.
Lord, let me be awake to each part of each moment, for this is how you visit me. In moments.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I recognize when I am wound tightly?
