breath happens

[keryx]

I listened to a guided meditation this morning that told me "your breath happens without any help from you". I'd been having a conversation with myself about all of these Things I Have to DO, that can't go on without me.

Ha! Many - maybe all - of those things can also happen without any help from me. What in your life is like breathing? What could be?

Your message about breathing happens without any help is the one I talk about at work every day. :)

You take 25,000 breaths each day, and we do take them for granted.

As for your question ... I'm not sure, mostly because the majority of stuff in my life is what I've volunteered for. I opted to not let these things happen without me. The stuff that I didn't volunteer for includes house cleaning, errands, etc., which I try to share. But your question has me thinking.

I'm not assuming that anyone would completely check out of the world, simply that we don't need to think about controlling things - they will happen, and our presence in them will happen, without conscious control or worry. Does that make sense?
