our body knows.
until pain tightens
heart, mind or soul
then we ask of ourselves ~
drop your shoulders
breathe deeply into your belly
fill your lungs with peace
push away the slate grey darkness ~
to breathe is to simplify the moment
divining the gentle calmness of space in time
“Remember to breathe. It is after all, the secret of life.”
~ Gregory Maguire, A Lion Among Men
