I just realized that this is what I've been missing- just watching people interact with other people. I'm in the library doing my work for class and got distracted looking at this group of friends talk and interact, their hands flying animatedly. And in my head I thought up the scenario. As an introvert, I don't need interaction myself, necessarily, all the time, whatever, but I do need to watch other people interact I think. Just to know that I'm not the only one, I'm part of "this body, this breathing." This mantra helped me a lot this past weekend while I flew to see Jake and back. The plane went up and I envisioned myself, the plane, the airport, the city, the state, the country, the continent, the world, all bodies, all breathing, that I'm just part of. It helped me remember to connect my body to my breath to my spirituality and soul.
So here I am in the library, part of this body, THIS breathing, and I'm a little more calm, a little more centered, feeling less alone and less stressed about the stack of articles next to me. This body, This breathing, this is doable, today is okay, this body, this breathing
