When I meditate
I watch and listen to my breath come in…
And go out…
Over and over, I watch and listen.
In time, it can soothe my being like a miracle salve.
It is sometimes a whisper of wind; at others a rush of air like listening to gusts in the trees.
Here is a melody I can return to again and again
In any moment when a thought or sensation, feeling or emotion
Tugs us off center…
In any moment…
We can return.
