Breath in focus
is grossly physical to start.
Awareness skills are honing in.
Each different awareness sense
is a loner,
a specialist
with developed acuities,
like chefs and carvers,
trackers and vision buffs,
impressionists and loons.
They have rarely
all worked together
at breath awareness before.
First breath is . . .
an inner dialogue commotion,
a response of chaos all at once,
a stampede of hush in reluctance.
I call upon a self-intimacy
to fill the space, firstly.
So we will try this breath again.
And from single breath efforts,
sensing up towards
a mountain of unrefined clarity.
There is no first breath of surrender,
yet asking for an inner deepening
to appear,
maybe a method of quiet and silence
as this means.
Surely breath has been there,
all along the way
but not in this kind
of a definite integral manner.
There is a buzz of confusion
up from the unconscious.
Dealing with the intake of breath
is asking for an ability to relax
and be in stillness yet
the busy work of awareness
within my breath.
What is calm?
This, for now,
is only an assemblage
of calming parts.
Breath in focus
is a journey
towards conscious breathing . . .
Mindfulness in the past
has been in estrangement.
Mind and breath in concert,
what intimacy must come
from this collaboration,
as breath in focus . . .
