Before enlightenment
Doing the dishes
After enlightenment
Doing the dishes
Before cancer
Doing the work
After cancer
Doing the work
Do the lip trills and the scales
Put pen to paper
Do the drills and put on your sneakers
Do the work
And the breathing
Always with the breathing
Without your breath you’re dead
So breathe just breathe just breathe
Find inspiration
Inspire
Literally from the Latin
in + spirare, ”to breathe"
Being ok with starting again
But you’re not at the beginning
It may seem like the same spot
But actually, you’re on a different arm of the spiral
Are you spiraling up or down or in or out?
The old work informs the new work
Learning is never wasted
Everything you experience informs the next moment
Informs the work
The work to be well
To be fit
To sing and dance and write
To breathe
Always with the breathing
Before you start
Breathe
Before you end
Breathe
Breathe just breathe
Be here and
Do the work
