The forgotten breath

Perhaps inner connection is not a thread that breaks, but a breath we forget to take. We remain in apnea, held back by notifications, obligations, distractions, until we realize we are no longer breathing within. It is not about finding something we have lost, but about remembering that the air is there, always. Just stop, inhale deeply and realize that life still inhabits us. Inner connection is this: the courage to breathe ourselves into the silence that no net can ever replace.
