Breath is enough — though Dolly sometimes holds hers, just to see who notices.
Breath is the first and last gift, endlessly given, rarely acknowledged. Inhale, and the world enters you; exhale, and you return the favour. Dolly, ever the trickster, pauses between the two, testing who else remembers to breathe when she forgets.
Stillness vs. Mischief
To breathe is to trust the rhythm of life; to hold it is to flirt with control. Dolly’s stillness is not defiance — it’s curiosity. She holds the breath just long enough to prove the world keeps spinning whether she participates or not.
The Lesson in Awareness
Breath reminds us that balance isn’t achieved, it’s allowed. To breathe is to release the need to manage the universe — and yet, in the pause, we glimpse how little depends on our command. Dolly smiles because she already knew.
Practical Guidance
Notice the inhale: Take what is freely given.
Release the exhale: Return what was never yours to keep.
Honour the pause: Even stillness has its rhythm.
Today’s Practice
Today, breathe deeply — and let the pause remind you you’re still here.
