Between your current exhalation
and the inhalation to follow
is a brief moment
when your breathing stops.

(There, it just happened.
Were you aware?)

Imagine that moment of no breath
as the pause of possibility.

(It just happened again.)

Your life began with an inhalation
and will end with an exhalation
In the brief moment between,
what possibility will you create?
