Stop! Look! Listen! Now! Breathe deep, employ yo abs, slowly, deeply, exhale fully. Straighten yo back, hold yo head up. Repeat the whole process, feel calm infuse ya. Keep slow deep breathing, looking listening quietly to the whole environment listening and looking deeply with your breathing, with all your senses fully attuned. Absorb it all, the world you in and your past and future, accept it without resistance. This is it, here and now. Attend!

Peace be with you
