The Petals of Presence

Take a slow inhale…

Let your eyes rest on the sky above you.

Notice how the light filters through the clouds — not rushing, not forcing, simply arriving.

Let your breath follow that same rhythm:

expanding gently, softening gently.

As the clouds shift, imagine your thoughts doing the same — drifting, reshaping, dissolving into brightness.

Stay with the openness for a moment.

Feel the spaciousness above you echo inside your chest.

And when you exhale, release anything that feels too heavy.

Let the sky hold it for you.

You are here.

You are breathing.

You are held by something vast and calm
