The wind blew all night last night. 15 miles away it was still and quiet all night. I think the Earth needs to breathe really hard sometimes to clear away all the stuff we emit into her etheric body/atmosphere... and apparently it can be very localized. Thinking about the breath, I remember my own days riding eventers. When the fences got big, we would hold our breath, the horse holding his breath, and we would mess up our approaches. If I would take a deep breath before each jump, the horse would, too and we sailed - most of the time - to the other side. I was a jump judge last weekend at the Las Cruces Horse Trials, an area X sanctioned event, and the riders galloped up to my obstacle singing, counting strides, encouraging the horse, etc. so that they had to breathe. Life is like this. We must take a deep breath as we approach an obstacle (any obstacle) and look right over it to the other side!
