the practice of giving thanks for each
breath
is a habit both hard and simple
it first takes noticing each
inhale and exhale
feeling lungs expand
leaves tremble
it's a skill formed after time and time again
most refined when lost, then found again
be sure to practice, both thanks, and giving
(thank You for this chest and heart and breath and feeling)
This is breath-taking. Wow.
ReplyDeletethis is so very true <3 with thanksgiving around the corner, i'm constantly being reminded of the fact that i'm not nearly as thankful as i should be.
