Breath

I find it interesting that we, Humans, are able to live on this planet by breathing oxygen. Pretty cool and simple. But the thing is. I find myself reminding myself to " breath". Now how funny is that?! Many years ago, I was at a point in my life where it seemed that everything I once knew was different. Turned upside down.No reference points that I recognized. I found myself in a Alanon Meeting at a church in Beverly Hills. I do not even think I could feel my own feet at the time. At the end of the meeting , as I was leaving out of one of the doors, a Gentleman came up to me. And with a smile on his face said " try just putting your attention on each breathe that you take. That is all. Breath in, then breath out. That is it. " I still believe he was an angel that showed up just for me. I suddenly became present and could feel ME again.
And now, many years later. I will find myself being my own Angel when I will say to myself " Take a breathe. A deep breathe. Breath. Just Breath.
But I still find it interesting, that a very important part of what keeps us going on this planet, that we have to remind ourselves to do. I find it VERY funny. Don't You?
