There's something in the first couple of paragraphs here that feels effortless. A less graceful writer would say "Ms. Oliver taught me about breath" or "This post is about breath" or "Breath is a core idea I am exploring here in this Substack." Drew, you're very graceful.

In daylights, in sunsets

In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles

In laughter, in strife

In five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes

How do you measure a year in the life?

Now I'm wondering if the way the chronically ill measure life-force in spoons is related to this TS Eliot poem.
