An echo

By the way, this breathing meditation is a powerful way for smokers to be aware of their breathing. Someone pointed out to me, that when you smoke, you only take breath in (as well as other problematic substances!) at the top of the lungs. The breathing is not then properly exercised and becomes shallow... Oh!...and singing is a powerful way to exercise the breath and use 'outwardly' what the 'inward' jounrey is gaining.

This makes me think of R. S. Thomas' poem "The Absence" - the sense of an internal space, "a vacuum he may not abhor". Or am I going a metaphor too far?
