: Fact is most people are trying to control
: the situation. Cultivation is about letting
: go and going with the flow, not about
: gaining control over natural processes.

: Most people have lost the natural deep
: breaths they took when they were a small
: child. Most people are shallow breathers. To
: learn to breathe from the heals takes
: practice. Takes conscious effort.

: You had to learn how to breathe, Butcho?
: You needed a master to show you how?
:
: Not me. I find what Laozi found--that
: sometimes breathing is easy, sometimes not.
: Sometimes things go well, sometimes they
: don't. Sometimes I'm wise, sometimes I'm
: foolish. The arrangement seems just peachy
: to me.
:
: Your breathing practice makes you feel
: healthier and wiser, and that's reason
: enough to continue doing it. I exercise
: everyday, because that makes me feel better
: too.
:
: My breathing can take care of itself.

Steve,
Spoken like a man born with his head up his ass.
