Breathing is not optional, but I think I’ve been holding my breath for a very long time without realizing it. Like many of us, I put my head down and keep pushing forward. Every once in a while, I look up to see if there is some hope on the horizon. Yes. I think. Oh, it’s a mirage.
I put my head down again and keep pushing forward. What if there is no hope coming? What then? How discouraging. Can’t think about that now. I’ll wait until it’s time to make the next decision.
And then, when I’m not looking, hope arrives. At first I can’t breathe. Then I start pushing again because it’s habit. At some point, soon, it will be time to exhale.
