Because we see the importance of the breath, we can always find time to breathe. In the same way, if we see the importance of meditation practice we will find the time to practice.

• Dark Horse movie might be blood, sweat, and tears for Todd Solondz, because things are so important to him and so specific. He has such a rhythm and a tone.

He has everything the way he needs it. And so we can just get there and be whatever he saw in the audition.

• Suddenly all the sky is hid As with the shutting of a lid, One by one great drops are falling Doubtful and slow, Down the pane they are crookedly crawling, And the wind breathes low; Slowly the circles widen on the river, Widen and mingle, one and all; Here and there the slenderer flowers shiver, Struck by an icy rain-drop’s fall.

• I am not quite sure what the advantage is in having a few more dollars to spend if the air is too dirty to breathe, the water too polluted to drink, the commuters are losing out in the struggle to get in and out of the city, the streets are filthy, and the schools so bad that the young perhaps wisely stay away, and the hoodlums roll citizens for some of the dollars they saved in the tax cut.

• Perhaps if Death is kind, and there can be returning,
  We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
  And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending
  Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.
  We will come down at night to these resounding beaches
  And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
  Here for a single hour in the wide starlight
  We shall be happy, for the dead are free.

  Sara Teasdale
