We have contemplated the relationship of breath to one’s life many times. Doing so   removes the dullness from our perception about our life. Life is scintillating, always dynamic and changing, stunning in beauty and variety, and ceaseless. Life goes on all around us, inside our bodies, constantly churns in our minds and emotions, and the more that you and I can become aware of, the more full one’s awareness of LIFE will be.

We begin here in this sitting, with the mysteries, miracles, and common quality of the profound. May we be awestruck over and over throughout our day by how common the profound actually is.
