Dressing Up - Inside Out

A thousand acts we do each day

To look or appear better

Usually because we will be seen by others

And what they think seems to matter.

How we feel must also matter

But that’s not where our attention goes

And how are we to dress our insides

That’s something hardly anyone knows.

Dressing and grooming outside is easy

And there are a thousand things we can do

But the insides can be touched or made-up, too

With the power of breath, if we only knew.

Making up outside requires skills

And making up inside too requires those,

Observing the breath can teach us some

When we begin to notice where our breath goes.

Breath can touch the seat of emotions

And it can help direct the mind as well -

All we need is some attention and work

And the transformation won’t be hard to tell.
