Breathing Exercises

If you go out far enough
you'll see the sun as just a spark
in a dying fire
if you go out far enough.
If you go out far enough
you'll see the whole wheel of the Milky Way
turning on the roads of the night
if you go out far enough.
If you go out far enough
you'll see the Universe itself,
billions of light-years, all of time
as just a glimmer, as lonely and distant
as a star on a June night.
And yet, my friend, if you go out far enough
you'll just be at the beginning
-- of yourself.
