Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. Hold. Inhale.
It was the rhythm that kept him centered. It was the eons of practice that kept him focused.
Hold. Exhale. Hold.
Hundreds of thousands of hours spent just like this kept him sharp in battle.
Inhale.
It was a ritual he never expected to be rid of; he wasn’t sure what he would do if one day, he woke and it was gone.
Hold.
It kept him balanced.
Exhale.
A million nights exactly like this one-calm, focused, centered.
Hold.
It kept him sane.
Inhale.
