A task that most don’t even notice…. until they wake up at night from a dream that felt all too real.  Or until they look at someone they find seemingly flawless.  Or until they hear the voice of someone that often floats through their stream of consciousness.  A body needs to adapt to the change; to the sudden lack of oxygen.  It is as if the body can’t keep up with the heart.  To me, this is beautiful.  The most intense change in the body and in life comes about with a breath.  A single breath. The marker of change or of complete awe.  As shocking and as temporarily unsettling this lack of oxygen is, it is something I find myself craving.  The more deep breaths I have in life, the more I want.
