Today, it is hard to breathe. — Yoga The World

--

Today it is hard to breathe. And so I am sharing this poem by Finn Butler.

SALTWATER

Everyone who terrifies you is 65% water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust,
and I know
sometimes
you cannot breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
that you are down to your last two percent,
but

nothing is infinite,
not even loss.

You are made of the sea and the stars, and
one day,
you are going to find yourself again.
