It’s breathing
in and out – gently relaxing body and mind. Thoughts are loosening their gravity – no need to sustain the “I am”. Feelings of relief and gentle friendship to the watching “me”. The bystander is still there, but not such important and part of the whole situation of being alive in this moment.

Karin,
Your post is such a nice welcome to my own morning on the other side of the world. It reminds me to appreciate the gift of breathing.
And accepting the watching self as part of a family of being seems like the best way to encourage it not to act out or require all the attention. (If the other kids had included Napoleon in their childhood games, perhaps he wouldn’t have needed to take over the world?)
