Morning Meditation

"Time is Breath." --GI Gurdjieff

Unable to quiet the mind this morning. Placing a pen and paper next to me when a thought of what I must do arises, I jot it down. Then return to eyes soft, breath even and say "I am breathing in. I am breathing out." Another thought or two written down, until thoughts are no longer regarded important enough to recall and calmness washes over me, as I continue, "I am breathing in. I am breathing out."
