Meditation One

Because - again - it's summer.
And here in these mountains - I'm learning - to sit. To sip. To savor.
To soak it all in and enjoy each and every precious minute.

The stars shine brighter.
The sun shines lighter.

It was this time last year when I began this practice of taking thirty long slow deep breaths.
In silence.
In gratitude.
They say that a 30-day practice can change how it is we see.

One inhale followed by an equally long and slow exhale.
We return.
We repeat.

A 30-day visual metaphor of how it feels to simply breathe.

A sweet ode.
A memory.
A gift given to me...coming thru me...I share with you.

I begin again.
At One.
