That's All

When I take the time
to notice my breath
I begin to enter
a sweet spot
just the movement
of the unseen
into my face
through my nostrils
or mouth
in
and out
the pause between
the changing direction
into my chest
or tummy
I learned this in 1992
in a meditation class
the breath
one at a time
again
and again
my senses expand
time stops
I hear the clock ticking
the cat licking himself
the cars driving by outside
the fly land on my leg
my chest rises and falls
somehow the essentials get to all of the cells of my body
in this action
one at a time
that's all
