Aren't the stars beautiful? Thousands of them twinkling so far from us, yet so near. Who knows what it's like in the universe where they are? ... I can't breathe when I look at them.

I now meditate even if it is for three minutes while I'm sitting in the car. Every little bit helps to slow the system.
