38 + 5, sweep it out, wipe it out, clean it all out...

there is an extra lengthening happening in the outgoing breaths today. and a little bit more sweeping motion. i know exactly why. there was quite a bit of angst and tension buildup from yesterday. the breath is doing its thing. sweep it out, wipe it out, clean it all out. i don't want any pileup. i want a clean, fresh, clear and quiet mind. thank you, my breath, you are doing such a fantastic job. hooooooooooh, i feel a little bit lighter and more at ease. i can't imagine living without you. you are the one right there with me when i inhaled for the first time when i was floating in the waters of the womb and aaalll the way until i exhale the last, and every moment in between. sometimes i don't treat you well, more than sometimes i forget you but you are sooo forgiving, sooo loyal, sooo dependable, always ready to show me the way to my inner self. no wonder the sages say you are the one constant companion a human being could have. thank you, thank you, thank you. i love you.
