Breathing, it is a simple and autonomic process; we breathe without thought or action. The essence of life happening as a matter of course, how striking and revealing. And from this living, vibrant circumstance, life blossoms in ways unknown and unimagined and at the same time without permanence or final destiny. Therefore, we need to make sure to slow down for a moment, from time to time, to reflect on the implication of this for life broadly. Whether it be the tragedies from COVID-19 or other reasons we need to make sure that we enjoy the moment, appreciate our time, live for what’s possible, embrace each other, and be grateful for all of it. It may not make it any easier, but it does allow us to get to that next breath and another one and another one….

Loving life when I take a moment to breathe
