A charcoal-feathered warrior sits cross-legged by an alpine lake, seen from behind, under an edge-on spiral galaxy.
The warrior sits with open hands resting over the knees. Each breath in and each breath out is kept the same length. Even breathing is a simple way into stillness of mind.
Orith is invented. The galaxy is modelled on NGC 4565, a spiral seen almost edge-on, so it looks like a thin line with a dark dust lane through the middle.
Practice
Breathe in for four counts and out for four counts, ten times.
