Effortless breath
When I consider the word “breathe” I think about the utility of breath’s function. The lungs take in what is needed for sustenance, the lungs then release that which is no longer of use. Effortlessly.
Taking it a step further I like to expand on that idea. I take in food which for the most part serves me well. The body keeps what is useful (ok and some which is clearly not.) But then it lets out that which the body finds to be useless.
And what do we feed our eyes and minds? Useful or useless? What is the most mindful/heartful way to use time today? I’d be lying if I were to claim that I never use electronic devices because I study, amuse and music my life frequently through the medium. But what about books or conversation with a face or a chat with nature or…just nothing?
At the end of the day I wish to sustain all of me in most wholesome ways for the most part. A dear friend from long ago once said to me “we make choices”. Little did I know I’d be quoting JR here. TY JR.
SO. Is it useful or useless… Make useful choices dear ones, and I hope you will breathe well and effortlessly. Peaces

laundry and meditation
A very cool thing happens to me when I hang laundry. I think about infinite number of people involved in this moment. Who are the people that crafted the clothesline, the clothes pins? Who’s involved in the creation of the fences the screw hooks? Who grew those trees and lumbered them? Who planted them and…
First Breath
It’s cool to consider that the very very first thing that we did the very first second that we were born was breathe. It was automatic, deep and loud. And now how years forward so much of the time we forget to breathe. For myself when I notice myself contracting I realize that my breath…
Buy yourself your own flowers
I have a dear friend from college who years ago turned me on to the idea of buying flowers for her house every week. I can’t say I got right into it, in that moment, but years later I remembered that. Maybe because I was tiring of waiting for that person who was going to…
