You are the sky, everything else is weather.

You are the sky. Everything else is just the weather. - Pema Chodron

When I focus on my breath, it's as if the air itself becomes a tangible thing, separate from me. This morning, I tried to attend to the sensation of each inhale and exhale without trying to control them. It's like watching clouds drift lazily across the sky, unencumbered by worries about what comes next.

Question for today

What is the one thing you can let go of as you start your day?

Practice

Breathe through two counts on the inhale and three on the exhale, then pause for a moment before repeating.
