we breathe so shallowly
barely touching the edges of the lungs
and we hardly exhale
failing to clear ourselves of the unnecessary material that clogs us up
holds us back
isn't that the purpose of the lungs?
to expand fully
explore our edges
and to retract completely
finding emptiness
peace
left only with what was there before this breathing started

maybe read it all again
replace 'breathe'
with 'live'
replace 'the lungs'
with 'life'

fractal patterns...
