BREATHING AS
QUEEN
By Baylan Megino
It's 6 p.m. Grocery run done. Dinner to cook.
Homework to oversee. Laundry to start.
Tomorrow’s work deadlines loom. Evening is
just beginning.
Your fatigue is real. Responsibilities and
obligations can take over even before we open
our eyes.
Days blur into weeks, and before you know it
we’re at mid-year. There’s a reason why your
spirit and mind brought you to this page.
In this moment, I invite you to Stop. Pause for
this moment and catch your breath. Yes,
pause. Let your shoulders drop. Release the
tension in your hands, forearms and neck. Now
take a deep breath and Breathe.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
