Riddle me this: how do you know you are alive? You are breathing. How will you know you are dead? You won’t be breathing.

As obvious as that is, the ramifications of this fact are significant and profound. For example, a current moment is the result of and inseparable from a breath currently being inhaled. In other words, there is no now, no moment, no time, if there is no you. By extension, then, this moment is all any of us has. This brings forward the idea of choice and Presence and nowness.

Take a moment, i.e. take a breath, and consider the profound.
