The trade · it stays level — no horizon to earn. Its strength is quiet, and that is what it protects.

Breath

Breathe in for 4 steps, out for 5. Keep the exhale a little longer than the inhale — that is the whole practice.

If pressure arrives

Slow down until the count softens. Sit on the next bench for a full minute. Presence is the goal — the map will wait.
