Awakening from within, a gentle stir, conscious breaths, to the quantum we confer. Sailing through experiences, we dance with atoms, in a boundless ball.

Breathe in, and within all, become aware

A journey through levels, of earth, fire, and air. In the depth of the moment, the self does reveal, aquantum dance, in a gracefully turning wheel.

We are all nature, whispers the rustling leaf, echoing peace, through joy and through grief. In every breath inhaled, silently profess, “I am breathing in, a universe in a chess.”

Breathing out, into the vastness, we send, I am exhaling, letting the inner walls bend.
