Slow Breathing in the Backyard

As time has passed, he has
gotten a wee bit claustrophobic
so the idea of climbing inside

the tree seemed ridiculous but
he did and he did just fine as
the tree. He spied a fairly

large rock about sixty inches
in diameter and a foot and a
half high and wondered if he

would be able to breathe inside
that rock. He did just fine when
he became the rock. The tree

and the rock both looked at
him and wondered if they would
be able to breathe inside his

asthmatic body. The tree did
just fine as the man giving
courage to the rock. The man

sat down on the rock and
leaned back against the tree
and the three-in-one sat and

did deep breathing exercises
next to the pond while the
fish watched and asked if

they could come in, too, while
wondering if they could breathe
as fish out of water. The three-

in-one invited the thirteen
fish in. The man took a deep
breath and said, “Om” on the

long, slow exhale. Everybody
giggled because the vibration
tickled.
