Breathing Within the Scheme of Things

To breathe within the scheme of things was the focus of a blog I once wrote before deciding to move on to "metaphysics." To be able to breathe has again become my simple focus. There is probably much more to being but if one cannot exist within the greater context as oneself, that is, if one cannot breathe, one cannot be. Metaphysics is a matter of understanding oneself; breathing is a matter of being, of simply existing. Once one can breathe, then one may take on understanding. I may have learned to breathe and then moved on to understanding, but then it just may be something shifted somewhere, somehow to some kind of a new paradigm of being in which even a new kind of breathing comes into being, as it were. Perhaps it is simply a result of getting on in the body and mind; when balance and relationships within oneself change, the whole context of being shifts. I see how and why I decided to focus on the metaphysics, for I have already delved into what could be interpreted as a metaphysical discussion. However, I think the theme is no longer that of Giving Meaning to Ourselves, for such is taken for granted by me at this point. To be able to breathe is to give such meaning.
