• Haz tres respiraciones conscientes. Haz una pausa. Que sea un contraste con estar atrapado. Que sea como reventar una burbuja. Que sea sólo un momento en el tiempo, y luego seguir adelante. Puede que estés de camino a lo que tengas que hacer ese día. Estás en el coche, en el autobús o haciendo cola. Pero aún puedes crear esa brecha haciendo tres respiraciones conscientes y estando justo ahí con la inmediatez de tu experiencia, justo ahí con lo que sea que estés viendo, con lo que sea que estés haciendo, con lo que sea que estés sintiendo.

• How will I survive this missing? How do others do it? People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the world staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives. I don't believe time heals. I don't want it to. If I heal, doesn't that mean I've accepted the world without her?
