– Inhale – Exhale –

Inhale. Exhale.

I’m finding it hard to breath.

Inhale. Exhale.

Is it just this moment? Or have I forgotten how to be?

Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale. Exhale.
Inhale. Exhale.

---

You see, I catch my breath all too often –

and as I inhale and exhale deliberately, I need to remind myself –
it’s our instinct to know how to breathe.

---

Mindful,
I begin to practice:

Inhale –

– expanding your lungs – allowing in air.

Exhale –

– collapsing your chest – allowing it to escape.

---

And now as my breaths even –
and I can feel the rhythm of my heartbeat.

Inhale.

Exhale.

I begin to believe,
that I need not worry.

I always have, and always will,
carry the ability with me.
