“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” Thich Nhat Hahn
To contemplate breathing
now there’s a thing,
a rhythm of
an inward and outward breath,
so simple really, and yet,
where is the juncture
the beginning or end,
though differently constituted
there are no parts
neither this or that,
just one continuous
seamless movement.

This site is a hommage to Pierre Joubert, one of the greatest illustrators ever lived. He was born in Paris (june 27, 1910 and died in La Rochelle on January 13, 2002). On Wikipedia is suggested that (quote): ¨He had a controversial site. He has been tarred with collaboration with the Nazis during Worldwar II¨. Documents, however, have proved that this is not true. Intimi have confirmed that.

In the midst of a long night, to become aware of one’s own breathing can become quite unsettling. This made me think of those moments!

Hopefully not too unsettling.

Breathing has its own language, the sharp intake, the long drawn out exhale, the sigh, the steady rhythm of rest, the first of life and the last of new life. Thank you for a bringing on a reflective moment.
