Today has been a powerful day and the time spent in union with the presenter was wonderful. I love the practice of breathe work, love the feeling of filling my lungs up and exhaling, But in all of the time that I have performed guided meditation I had never thought about how I take for granted the ability to breathe. in that moment. I have been awakened to a profound sense of gratitude and greatfulness for the ability to breathe. I wrote a poem when George Floyd was killed about breathe and breathing and still the concept did not come to me like today. I find this interesting. So i stop, look, and go.

As I write this I am sitting in the great state of New Hampshire. similar to Sheila below, I too live in New England because I love the changing of the four seasons. Right when I am frustrated by too much of one, a gentle reminder tells me that it will change such as the small green shoots that I see sticking up through the earth and then I say Ah! the promise of the change is coming. It is cold right now and there is snow and the coldness awakens me and my body and reminds me that I am alive. Thank you for a chance to begin a practice again.
