Under a magnifying glass

observe the breath
as if it were under a magnifying glass
be interested-
as if it were something foreign, unknown
be curious
as to what happens
everytime you breath in
and breath out
so that you can see every step

just watch
this rhythmical dance between
the external world
and the inner world
this exchange that takes place all the time

-- Sandra Sabatini
