When thoughts of the past and future dissolve, there is no time, no worry.   On this Sabbath morning, for a few minutes, or at least for a breath, can you relinquish the past and future, let go of stories, and simply feel this inhalation, this exhalation? Not in your mind, for that is only the concept of “breathing,” but in your chest, as pure sensation. Put your hand on your solar plexus, with tender love, in the valley just below your beating heart, just above your belly. This is the valley of prayer.
