Combat Breathing Mixtape

A Meditation, Lament, and Performance

Abstract

How to breathe,
a rhythmic dance,
Inhale, exhale, find your balance.

Three steps
reveal,
unmask your face,
Release the burdens, let your soul breathe.

Work, create, and teach,
Love amidst sickness, a lesson.

Ten ways to converse about shadows in the mind,
Navigate the darkness with words so kind.

Learn
Two new rituals, for the living, for the dead,
A sacred dance,
Tell a story where memories are bred.

Listen.
Seven podcasts echo,
Join a protest at home,
A symphony of voices, where movements spring forth.

Creativity blooms in protests, diverse,
Bake bread, turn vegan, let your voice traverse.
Through the stages of grief
Five steps to healing, on sacred ground.

Set up a Teams meeting, the digital class,
In the virtual realm, where connections amass.
Take attendance virtually, a distant gaze,

Six ways to engage,
And as you breathe, ponder the belief within,
What keeps your heart beating?

Life's flavours entwine,
A symphony of existence, a journey into the divine.
