On Breath

Here's something that popped into my head last week while I was trying to understand why even sometimes the simplest things can be so challenging.  I'm also still laughing at the random ADD moments that make their way into my writing, my thoughts, and my existence.  Sometimes I get so frustrated trying to keep my brain on track but I suppose I have to admit that without these moments life would be far more boring...

BREATHING:

How can something so important be so difficult?
How can something so simple be so complicated?
Why isn't it as easy as
inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale?
(repeat as needed)

inhale

WHALE!
