A minute by the fire

However you arrived here,
you can set it down for two minutes.

A slow breathing exercise to steady a racing mind. No app to download. Just follow the flame. Breathe in as it grows, out as it settles.

A moment of calm, not a mental-health service. If things feel like too much, reach out: Samaritans 116 123 · 988 (US). Outside the UK and US, find a helpline where you are.
