Breathing in, I arrive. Breathing out, I am home. Breathing seems to be at the core of many reflections today. When we calm ourselves, we help quiet the chaos. Mindful walking and breathing is an excellent practice with a bow to Thich Nhat Hanh for teaching this. When we invite the bell to ring or light a candle, the prayer is (Breathing in) Body, speech, and mind in perfect oneness; may my heart go along with the sound of the bell. (Breathing out) May all who listen awaken to forgetfulness and transcend the path of sorrow and anxiety. Namaste.

A lovely way to see this question! Thank you.💜🌹
Thank you, Kevin, for giving me the first smile and belly laugh of the day! The question is bizarre and, for me, has implied hubris in its wording. Dare I ask, how or who comes up with one like this? Hey, I’m still laughing … 😊
