1) Your anchor to living in the moment, to fully experiencing the present, in whatever circumstance, whether you hurry, whether you linger, is your breath.
Your breath.
Your breath.
2) Your anchor to getting the most out of human experience is to recognize it as spiritual. The spiritual capitalizes on connection, and permeates through all the chambers of your life.
3) To love where you are is to recognize that you are always moving, and that every thing around you is a breathing, heaving body – whether it be of breath, history, or beauty,
4) To love someone is to pay attention to all three in their body, and fully experience their presence in the present — their assertions, expressions, silences, shifting, hesitations, mannerisms, embarrassments, color of veins against thin skin, their swallowing, delicateness of throat, blinking, delicateness of eyes, tiny hairs against light, tone colour of voice, the vibrations, the textures, the splendid heat of their body, distinct scent of their sweat, the curdling of their hunger, the modest knocking of pulse, the breath that refreshes with your breath making you different people every moment.
5) Because you keep the things that you love alive.
(for Gael)
